| Summary: | In this dissertation, a centralized security management system was designed and implemented to generate the configuration for the countermeasures within an intranet, in order to implement the remote access decisions documented in the network security policy. This system is called the Evaluation and Analysis System for Intranet Access Control (EASIAC). The EASIAC system is designed to generate the configuration for the remote access control countermeasures from both the host and network models of security. Countermeasures from the host model of security are host-based mechanisms, and these countermeasures reside on a designated host and control access of the network services offered by the protected host. Countermeasures from the network model of security are either network or host-based mechanisms, and these countermeasures control access of the network services offered by hosts on the protected network(s). The EASIAC system provides the capability to evaluate the remote access that would be allowed within the intranet, based on the configuration generated for each countermeasure and the network services offered by each host. The EASIAC system will analyze the results of this evaluation against the remote access decisions documented in the network security policy. The security administrator may examine the results of this analysis to determine if the configurations generated for the countermeasures are consistent with the network security policy. The EASIAC system generates a configuration for each countermeasure that is consistent with the network security policy, based on the constraints of the environment. |
