Design of EDI security MIB based on SNMP protocol

This paper considers the design and management of security MIB for EDI system. EDI system has to establish security services and mechanisms such as authentication, secure access management, confidentiality, integrity, non-repudiation, message security labeling and security management to protect against security threats. Hence, the EDI system requires appropriate security management to monitor and control the security objects for its security services and mechanisms. In this paper, I identify security management objects for security services defined in the EDI system, and propose the design of a security MIB and describe the use of SNMPv2 network management protocol in its management.
