Abstract

With the growing deployment of multisource fusion systems to gather and analyse pieces of attack evidence from myriad heterogeneous 'sources', a requirement is to provide a secure and robust message exchange mechanism (MEM) for their communication. An MEM is described as one that allows message exchange among multiple heterogeneous network sources, based on security spaces. A security space is a lightweight abstract space based on a tuple space that provides security to messages exchanged among the different sources in the network. In this paper, security space's schematic and semantic representations are provided. Its mathematical formalism, design and security requirements, and application to distributed and federated multisensor environments are explained.
