Comparison of the Security Solutions

Abstract

This chapter attempts to compare the security solutions that have been reviewed in the previous chapters. Comparison of security solutions can be difficult because the designers had different motives, and aimed at solving particular requirements. The solutions are therefore compared in a number of different ways [8]:

• 1. Categorizing the type of solution;

• 2. Positioning in the networking model;

• 3. Security services provided;

• 4. Cryptographic primitives used;

• 5. Applications and availability;

• 6. Standardization.
