Enhanced Security Scheme for Managing Heterogeneous Server Platforms

Abstract

In this paper, we propose enhanced security scheme for managing heterogeneous server platforms. We apply fault tolerant architecture to basic remote server management model for providing security enhancement. This security enhancement includes several security services such as authentication, integrity, confidentiality, role based access control, and single-sign on. The traditional management methods cannot obtain these strong security services. Also, we present implementation results to verify functionality of the proposed scheme and demonstrate the performance of certificate validation that occupy most of total latency.
