Abstract:
The correct and continuous operation of identity providers and access control services is critical for new generations of networks and online systems, such as virtualized networks and on-demand services of large-scale distributed systems. In this paper, we propose and describe a functional architecture and system design artifacts for prototyping fault- and intrusion-tolerant identification and authentication services. The feasibility and applicability of the proposed elements are evaluated by using two distinct prototypes. Our results and analysis show that building and deploying resilient and reliable infrastructure services is an achievable goal through a set of system design artifacts based on well-established concepts from security and dependability. We also provide a performance evaluation of our resilient RADIUS service compared with the long standing FreeRADIUS.
