Specifications of a High-Level Conflict-Free Firewall Policy Language for Multi-Domain Networks

Tags: security vulnerabilities, firewall, network, management

Overview Multiple firewalls typically cooperate to provide security properties for a network, despite the fact that these firewalls are often spatially distributed and configured in isolation. Without a global view of the network configuration, such a system is ripe for misconfiguration, causing conflicts and major security vulnerabilities. This proposes FLIP, a high-level firewall configuration policy language for traffic access control, to enforce security and ensure seamless configuration management. In FLIP, firewall security policies are defined as high-level service-oriented goals, which can be translated automatically into access control rules to be distributed to appropriate enforcement devices. FLIP guarantees that the rules generated will be conflict-free, both on individual firewall and between firewalls.
