“…Thus, one challenge in this system is how best to handle these security issues, including authentication, access control, and privacy. This study, which extends the work presented in Mills-Tettey and Wilson [4], discusses these security issues and presents our initial design for the ABELS security framework.…”

The Agent-Based Environment for Linking Simulations (ABELS) framework is designed to allow independent and physically distributed simulations and other data resources to form a “data cloud” for the exchange of information. In particular, it uses a distributed brokering system to facilitate dynamic linkings between independently designed, autonomous participants, without requiring the use of stringent standards to which participants must conform. This article discusses the various security threats that can arise in the ABELS architecture and presents the current design and implementation of a security framework for the system.

“…The Agent-Based Environment for Linking Simulations (ABELS) system [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] is designed to facilitate the rapid formation of a distributed "cloud" of autonomous data resources. Individual cloud participants join and exit the data and simulation cloud as needed and have no prior knowledge of the other cloud participants.…”

Research on data confidentiality, integrity and availability is gaining momentum in the ICT community, due to the intrinsically insecure nature of the Internet. While many distributed systems and services are now based on secure communication protocols to avoid eavesdropping and protect confidentiality, the techniques usually employed in distributed simulations do not consider these issues at all. This is probably due to the fact that many real-world simulators rely on monolithic, offline approaches and therefore the issues above do not apply. However, the complexity of the systems to be simulated, and the rise of distributed and cloud based simulation, now impose the adoption of secure simulation architectures. This paper presents a solution to ensure both anonymity and confidentiality in distributed simulations. A performance evaluation based on an anonymized distributed simulator is used for quantifying the performance penalty for being anonymous. The obtained results show that this is a viable solution.
