Secure Network Management Integration of Security Mechanisms into Network Management Protocols

In this ipaper, we discuss the principles of OS1 management and OS1 security and hdw to integrate security features into network management protocols. First, we analyze potential threats in a network management environment. Then vve discuss three examples of application-oriented protocols which already have security elements: X.400, secure FTAM and SNMPv2. Finally, we propose an enhanced, secure CMIP. The verification of the new concepts is done with test scenarios.
