Current
security products fall short of providing a secure network environment.
In addition, security solutions today are fragmented and, by nature of
their single point of control, cannot keep up with the performance needs of high
bandwidth networks. This project
will develop a single pervasive solution that enhances security and improves
system management. At a minimum, it
will provide encryption and authentication.
At its fullest, it will provide completely transparent single sign-on,
host-level intrusion detection and prevention, as well as network-wide patching
of security vulnerabilities to all local and remote hosts.
Phase I will identify the performance requirements needed for hardware
and networking software based upon actual test cases using various encryption
algorithms and hardware configurations. Analysis
will include measuring the performance of the total throughput allowed, as well
as the latency created by the system.
Commercial Applications And Other Benefits as described by awardee: The technology, designed to be transparent to the end user while providing encryption and network authentication across any size network, should significantly improve upon virtually all-existing security products. Also it would be the first product to address the problem of internal attacks.
