Abstract

The paper proposed a software architecture for security gateways which allows the product designers or service providers to systematically configure the security software components. Current architecture leads to tremendous administration overhead and increases the chance of misconfiguration vulnerability. We proposed a novel software architecture to aid the product designers to avoid the misconfiguration vulnerability and the end-users to ease the administration overhead. The software architecture makes use the threats for the gateways and the occuranee relation between the threats to configure the security software components on the gateways. With the software architecture, the end-users can focus on determining the desired security features rather than the software configuration. Moreover, the architecture allows the product designers or security service to incrementally revise the software configuration when new threats appear.
