A social-intelligence-inspired security integrated model for network information flow

Abstract

Inspired by social intelligence of individual's avoiding harm and auto-protect himself, a security-ring model for network information flow is proposed. The model extends TCP/IP security protocols and controls dynamic security of network information flow in four layers. These layers can cooperate to build closed-secure-channels and form a closed security-ring. In the model, security-channels have different security grades. The information flows are transmitted, deal with transactions, and exchange secret in these channels. The model can guarantee static and dynamic securities for information flows. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.
