Multilateral Security: Enabling Technologies and Their Evaluation

  • Conference paper
Emerging Trends in Information and Communication Security (ETRICS 2006)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNSC,volume 3995))

Abstract

First, multilateral security and its potential are introduced. Then protection goals as well as their synergies and interferences are described. After pointing out some basic facts about security technology in general, a structured overview of technologies for multilateral security is given. An evaluation of the maturity and effectiveness of these technologies shows that some should be applied immediately, while others need quite a bit of further research and development. Finally, a vision for the future is given.
