Chapter 01 Introduction)

This document provides an overview of key concepts in network security from Chapter 1 of the textbook "Network Security Essentials". It defines computer security, levels of impact, and examples of security requirements. It also discusses the challenges of computer security and outlines the OSI security architecture. Additionally, it covers aspects of security including attacks, mechanisms, and services. Finally, it presents models for network security and network access security.

Network Security Essentials Chapter 1

Fourth Edition by William Stallings Lecture slides by Lawrie Brown

Computer Security
the

protection afforded to an automated information system in order to attain the applicable objectives of preserving the integrity, availability and confidentiality of information system resources (includes hardware, software, firmware, information/data, and telecommunications)

Key Security Concepts

Levels of Impact
can

define 3 levels of impact from a security breach


Low Moderate High

Examples of Security Requirements


student grades integrity patient information availability authentication service
confidentiality

Computer Security Challenges


not simple 2. must consider potential attacks 3. procedures used counter-intuitive 4. involve algorithms and secret info 5. must decide where to deploy mechanisms 6. battle of wits between attacker / admin 7. not perceived on benefit until fails 8. requires regular monitoring 9. too often an after-thought 10. regarded as impediment to using system
1.

OSI Security Architecture


X.800 Security Architecture for OSI defines a systematic way of defining and providing security requirements for us it provides a useful, if abstract, overview of concepts we will study
ITU-T

Aspects of Security
consider

3 aspects of information security:

security attack security mechanism security service

note

terms

threat a potential for violation of security attack an assault on system security, a deliberate attempt to evade security services

Passive Attacks

Active Attacks

Security Service

enhance security of data processing systems and information transfers of an organization intended to counter security attacks using one or more security mechanisms often replicates functions normally associated with physical documents
which, for example, have signatures, dates; need protection from disclosure, tampering, or destruction; be notarized or witnessed; be recorded or licensed

Security Services
X.800:

a service provided by a protocol layer of communicating open systems, which ensures adequate security of the systems or of data transfers
RFC

2828:

a processing or communication service provided by a system to give a specific kind of protection to system resources

Security Services (X.800)

Authentication - assurance that communicating entity is the one claimed

have both peer-entity & data origin authentication

Access Control - prevention of the unauthorized use of a resource Data Confidentiality protection of data from unauthorized disclosure Data Integrity - assurance that data received is as sent by an authorized entity Non-Repudiation - protection against denial by one of the parties in a communication Availability resource accessible/usable

Security Mechanism
feature

designed to detect, prevent, or recover from a security attack no single mechanism that will support all services required however one particular element underlies many of the security mechanisms in use:

cryptographic techniques

hence

our focus on this topic

Security Mechanisms (X.800)


specific security mechanisms: encipherment, digital signatures, access controls, data integrity, authentication exchange, traffic padding, routing control, notarization pervasive security mechanisms: trusted functionality, security labels, event detection, security audit trails, security recovery

Model for Network Security

Model for Network Security

1.

using this model requires us to:


design a suitable algorithm for the security transformation generate the secret information (keys) used by the algorithm develop methods to distribute and share the secret information specify a protocol enabling the principals to use the transformation and secret information for a security service

2.

3.

4.

Model for Network Access Security

Model for Network Access Security

1.

using this model requires us to:


select appropriate gatekeeper functions to identify users implement security controls to ensure only authorised users access designated information or resources

2.

Summary
topic

roadmap & standards organizations security concepts:

confidentiality, integrity, availability
