SECURITY AND AUTHENTICATION FOR NETWORKED STORAGE

Abstract

Authentication and access control are important measures for the security of a storage area network (SAN). In this paper, the current methods of authentication and access control in a SAN are reviewed and a new identity-based authentication scheme is proposed. This scheme has the advantage that it is lighter weight and more suited for the high speed switches that operate in a SAN fabric.
