Design of Secure Monitor in the Secure Zone Cooperation

Abstract

We propose a Secure Zone Cooperation to protect unknown types of attack and to improve efficiency of security systems. The Secure Zone Cooperation, a framework that establishes mutual collaboration and cooperation between trusted zones, can protect systems and networks from potential attacks. This framework can predict and respond to attacks by exchanging security information and cooperating with each zone. A Secure Monitor plays a major role in detecting security events in the Secure Zone Cooperation, so its ability is a key factor that represents the safety of the Secure Zone. In this paper, we introduce the design of the Secure Monitor. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2003.
