Security and Privacy Preservation over Interconnected Networks

Abstract

Security is a key concern in a wide spread network. Preserving private information is to be given due importance by all communication devices and search engines, since there is a threat of unauthorized users accessing secure information by trapping the network devices. Existing wide spread network of computers, mobile and other electronic devices does not define proper protocols neither based on users location nor based on the end users requirements in connecting to the network. Our proposed solution provides the most better and promising solution for a good network of plug and play Networks along with high level of authentication and authorization solutions. The proposal uses Flexi- Negotiable Security solutions that takes into account the cost and crude for such implementations along with best interoperability among the connected devices. Set of authorization policies are generated by a network manager using XACML based on the based on the available resources and the number of connected devices thus proving a reliable and secure network of devices.In this project, we are trying to incorporate a control point which will take care of controlling the devices access points. Each individual user needs to get authentication and authorization to access the resources in the network. Control point will take care of validating the request by the users. Once the users holds the authentication/authorization to access the resource in the network. They are permitted or else, no option to access the resources and they will be restricted. The authentication will be verified by the control points through a secure SOAP based web services. Our proposed system involves the above said techniques and it associated with attribute based authentication. So that, higher designated people will be provided with more access options.
