Abstract
The invention relates to a method for optimizing the transfer of secure data streams via an autonomic network between multiple information-producing users Pi and multiple information-consuming users Cj, in which, for each secure session between an information-producing user Pi and an information-consuming user Cj, non-persistent security settings are exchanged between an optimization module and an autonomic agent via a secure control channel to apply between the autonomic agent and the optimization module the previously negotiated security procedure, such that during an exchange of streams between the information-producing user Pi and the information-consuming user Cj, the optimization module having non-persistent security settings appears as a client for a server during the said session.
