Dynamic Security Service Negotiation to Ensure Security for Information Sharing on the Internet

Abstract

The term “quality of security service” is first presented by Cynthia Irvine [4]. The original definition is: “quality of security service refers to the use of security as a quality of service dimension and has the potential to provide administrators and users with more flexibility and potentially better service, without compromise of network and system security policies.” The original definition is focused on the quality of security service from the point of view of system administrators and users. We refine and define the term “quality of security service” in relation to security service negotiation among senders and receivers in a network, i.e. we focus on the quality of security service in the network.
