On-demand security service

Abstract

Traditional secure channels use a secure session key to encrypt communication messages within a time limit. For website cases, browsers can not initiate a request for a secure session, and sometimes it is not necessary to encrypt the entire session. Our On-Demand Security Service (ODSS) addresses these problems by designing an "in session" protocol on top of internet and wireless communication protocol. It could be used in gaming, internet browsing, and messaging environments. A service provider opens ODSS as a service, and offers users a choice of applying protection when needed. This approach provides user-defined security and also improves communication efficiency.
