IPsec Modulation for Quality of Security Service
Abstract
Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms can be beneficial to both the user and the overall distributed system. QoS users benefit by having reliable access to services. The distributed system whose resources are QoS managed benefits by having more predictable resource utilization and, where supported, more efficient resource allocation. We have previously examined how reliability, predictability and efficiency can be enhanced by including security as a real part of QoS, transforming security from an inflexible performance obstacle into a constructive management tool. We have termed the effects of this inclusion, "Quality of Security Service" (QoSS) 10. The motivation for the work described here is to examine specific methods for managing variability of security services, including choices offered to users, resource cost calculation, and modulation of underlying security mechanisms.
