Abstract
Active networks are novel approach to providing the flexibility in the network and service by allowing the network infrastructure to be programmable by using active packet, in which a traditional packet is replaced by a program which controls a behavior of nodes in the network. However, active packet may create new vulnerabilities at active node and attacks using those vulnerabilities can spread over network by mobility of active packet easily and rapidly. To be beforehand with preventing these attacks, we need the more scalable model than existing vulnerability analysis model. We present the Scalable Vulnerability Analysis Model which can manage vulnerable nodes quickly and efficiently in active networks. This approach provides good scalability by distributed vulnerability checking mechanism based on policy and fast adaptability by automated deploying mechanism of new vulnerability checking code. This approach will be suitable in large scale active networks.
