Addressing security issues in the autonomic Future Internet

We witness an ongoing intensive research towards the specification and implementation of autonomic behaviors for the Future Internet. Important issues that need to be addressed in that context are related to diverse security aspects of the emerging autonomic network technologies. In this paper, we present our research on security in autonomic networks based on the GANA reference model. We present a number of concepts and show how security can be addressed on the architectural level in an autonomic network.
