Proposal for integrated security systems

Abstract

The concept of integrated security system (ISS) and its realization are described. An integrated security system protects information network systems from computer viruses, hackers and other computer crimes. For this purpose, the ISS requires three mechanisms: information secrecy, user identification and access control mechanisms. The information secrecy mechanism protects information against intrusion through 'non-gates' of the information network systems. User identification mechanism permits authorized users to enter the systems only at 'the gates'. Access control mechanism allows only the users with permission to actually access data. The author implements an integrated security system using an ID-based security scheme. The ID-based security scheme provides encryption tools and authentication tools Encryption tools are used for information secrecy, and authentication tools are used for user identification and access control.<>
