Abstract
A modified security protocol for remotely managed computer-based communications devices is presented. The protocol is based on the Syslog Sign protocol but is altered to allow an entity that collects log events from and/or remotely manages the device to provide authenticated acknowledgement of event logs that have been successfully received. This is achieved through an Acknowledgement Block which is signed by the entity and made available to the device.
