TAPS: Trust-based Access Control and Protect System

The current network access control solution focuses only on the setup for the connection control of each gateway or VPN equipment and the status monitoring function of each equipment. In addition, each secure connection configuration between the corresponding network access nodes making it easy for the target node to be protected is likely to be exposed to malicious attacks. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a trust-based network access control and protect system (TAPS) that enables the software-driven definition and control of a network tunnel for protection between devices and services. The proposed system was designed to only grant access to specified services to mutually authorized devices by predefining and mapping a list of devices and services. In addition, data traffic between each device and service has been developed to be resistant to a variety of cyber attacks by encrypting it according to its purpose.
