Securing asynchronous transfer mode based networks through the use of encryption

Abstract

Investigates the feasibility of the addition of security services directly into the B-ISDN protocol stack. A complete design of a security system for B-ISDN based networks is proposed. This design is validated through simulation. Based upon the simulation results and the current standards, the addition of a security system within the B-ISDN protocol stack is demonstrated as a viable method of securing the ATM traffic.
