Computer security management model using MAUT and SNMP

Abstract

We develop a computer security management model, which could dynamically adapt security policies. The proposed model consists of an adaptive security level algorithm based on MAUT and Simple Heuristics, and an adaptive security management system based on SNMP and mobile agent. The security level algorithm could adapt several security services according to the changes of network environment. And the security management system utilizes SNMP protocol and mobile agent to deal with diverse network environments. Therefore, the proposed model is expected to provide more flexible security management in the heterogeneous network environments. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
