Abstract

The firewall is one of the most important network security facility and is widely used as a base infrastructure in a large enterprise network. When policy changes, the administrator must find all the potential conflicts between existing policies to ensure network security. That's a waste of time and energy. Proceeding from the demands, this paper analyzes key points and difficulties in the design process for the tools, applies mature algorithm of policy conflict detection, and finally proposes a flexible and scalable design. The prototype system proves that the tool does effectively detect all conflicts in policy set, and in the form of reports for the administrator.
