Concurrent Information Assurance Architecture
Abstract
Currently, many tasks in the information security field are accomplished in a sequential manner, often after the fact, which limits the urgency of time response and usefulness of the tools and approaches currently available. The next step toward more secure networking is taking a Concurrent Information Assurance (C-IA) approach, which executes security-critical functionality concurrently on several different levels. The C-IA Architecture (C-IAA) postulates concurrent information assurance (IA) by providing configurable, coordinated, automated situation analysis, decision assistance, and response. The C-IAA's objective is to create the underpinnings for an architecture that executes security-critical functionality in an automated fashion, distributively, concurrently, and separately from other applications. C-IAA systems exploit the severability of concurrent processing into separate execution environments to achieve a high confidence and minimal impact on information, IA components, and the organizations dependant on that information.
