While conventional networks have functions such as queuing and delivering data packets only, active networks have been introduced and researched since 1990s, where they have additional functions such as performing operations on the packets being transmitted in the networks. Because of such versatile functions, active networks are obviously more complex than conventional networks, but raise considerable security issues at the same time. In this paper, we propose an active node management system for secure active networks that is based on a discrete approach which resolves the weak points of active networks. The proposed system provides the functions of node and user management in the active networks, and improves the security of packet transmission by packet cryptography and session management. We implement the proposed system and show numerical results on performance.
