PNSICC: A Novel Parallel Network Security Inspection Mechanism Based on Cloud Computing

Abstract

As we all know, application firewall provides in-depth inspection to ensure application-layer security services, but brings a serious decline for network performance of application service, even more serious impact on service usability, worse, in the face of increasingly complex and diverse network application services that require an integrated network security protection, different types of application firewall collaborate together to ensure security use of integrated services, but multiple application firewalls lead to more serious performance problems than a single one. Recent efforts have provided a large number of optimization measures and algorithms, what is more, have offered a lot of new security architecture for application firewalls, unfortunately, most of them did not achieve the desired results. We have proposed a novel architecture that combines the characteristics of cloud computing, namely, parallel network security inspection Mechanism based on cloud computing (PNSICC) that is able to addresses performance problems for multiple intertwined application firewalls that protect network security of integrated service. PNSICC not only provides effective network security protections for the protected objects, but also has greatly improved security inspection efficiency. We have proved by experiments that our scheme is an effective and efficient method.
