Policy-based Security Management Project (PBSM)
The Policy Based Security Management System is a distributed system
which dynamically provides hosts and security gateways with the policy
information required to establish a secure communication
end-to-end. The goal of PBSM is to provide the following services to
hosts and security gateways:
- Discovery of security gateways
- Management of dynamic security associations.
- Resolution of security requirements for inter-domain communication
- Consistency checking of local security policies.
PBSM includes a security policy specification language, SPSL, that
allows one to specify security policies in terms of primitives such as
user identity, source and destination machine address and port
number, encryption and authentication algorithms.
