Abstract
A distributed security architecture may include: a mobile anti-tamper hardware policy enforcement point configured to control communication behaviors of a mobile client by enforcing communication policies within a policy decision point; a mobile anti-tamper hardware policy decision point encapsulated within the mobile anti-tamper hardware policy enforcement point; a policy exchange channel for policy distribution modes configured to distribute and/or update communication and routing security policies to the mobile client; a contextual manager configured to handle system-wide status change update signaling; and a mobility authentication manager configured to provide mobile clients with registration and credential/role assignments based on mobile access policies. The distributed security architecture may be configured to provide open system interconnection layer 3.5 policy-based secure routing, and open system interconnection layer 2 policy-based mandatory access control address filtering to provide secure communication and computing for layers 4, 5, 6, and 7.
