Abstract

Many military research efforts have concentrated on how to allow war-fighters to take advantage of all available information within the battlefield in a rapid and flexible manner. As a result, the development of the Global Information Grid GIG was the key enabler for this process; hence, adding to the development of the mobile networking part of the GIG, the concept of the Mobile Ad hoc Network of Networks MANoN is introduced. This article proposes a novel security management algorithm achieving the three management essentials: Security Administration; Prevention and Detection; and Containment and Recovery; based on the International Telecommunication Union's recommendation M.3400 to manage securely the future of military Network-Centric Warfare NCW. The authors will employ Interval Temporal Logic ITL as a method of handling both sequential and parallel composition in flexible timely constrains, in addition, this technique will be evaluated using the Network Simulator NS-2 to provide and check whether security requirements are met in a comprehensive manner.
