New framework automates translation of high level security policies for networks.
The article presents a framework for turning a high-level security policy into detailed security measures. The researchers aim to automate this translation process to overcome challenges like consistency and maintenance. They categorize network assets and create a security model based on access control. This model includes not only access rules but also administrative policies like auditing. The high-level security policy is then mapped to this model before being automatically translated into specific security mechanisms. The approach was tested with an application example to show its effectiveness.
