RT Conference Proceedings T1 Performance analysis of a security architecture for active networks in Java A1 Alarcos, Bernardo A1 Hoz, Enrique de la A1 Sedano, Marifeli A1 Calderón, María AB Active network technology supports the deployment and execution on the fly of new active services, without interrupting the network operation. Active networks arecomposed of special nodes (named Active Router) that are able to execute active code to offer the active services. This technology introduces some security threats that must be solved using a security architecture. We have developed a security architecture (ROSA) for an active network platform (SARA). Java has been used asprogramming language in order to provide portability, but it imposes some performance limitations. This paper analyses the penalty of using Java and proposes some mechanisms to improve the performance of cryptographicimplementations in Java.
