A transparent end-to-end security solution

Abstract

Looking through the past couple of decades in information security we can say that sophistication and advancements are not limited to information security solutions alone but also in parallel applies to cyber exploits and crimes which have grown both in number and in their capacity to create havoc in cyber space. Originated in the form of malicious code and unauthorized access, cyber security threats have come a long way, today posing threats to end systems and applications. This resulted in an exponential growth in end systems and application security threats.In this paper we present a new approach to address end-to-end security issues. This security solution is designed to be transparent to applications, offering flexibility to deploy any cryptographic algorithm and also providing features for efficient administration. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
