Abstract/Description
Network architectures are described by the International Standard for Organization (ISO), which contains seven layers. The internet uses four of these layers, of which three are of interest to us. These layers are Internet Protocol (IP) or Network Layer, Transport Layer and Application Layer. We need to protect against attacks that may come through any of these layers. In the world of network security, systems are plagued by various attacks, internal and external, and could result in Denial...
Show moreNetwork architectures are described by the International Standard for Organization (ISO), which contains seven layers. The internet uses four of these layers, of which three are of interest to us. These layers are Internet Protocol (IP) or Network Layer, Transport Layer and Application Layer. We need to protect against attacks that may come through any of these layers. In the world of network security, systems are plagued by various attacks, internal and external, and could result in Denial of Service (DoS) and/or other damaging effects. Such attacks and loss of service can be devastating for the users of the system. The implementation of security devices such as Firewalls and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), the protection of network traffic with Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), and the use of secure protocols for the layers are important to enhance the security at each of these layers.We have done a survey of the existing network security patterns and we have written the missing patterns. We have developed security patterns for abstract IDS, Behavior–based IDS and Rule-based IDS and as well as for Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols. We have also identified the need for a VPN pattern and have developed security patterns for abstract VPN, an IPSec VPN and a TLS VPN. We also evaluated these patterns with respect to some aspects to simplify their application by system designers. We have tried to unify the security of the network layers using security patterns by tying in security patterns for network transmission, network protocols and network boundary devices.
