Abstract:
1. A method for guaranteeing an integrity of exchanged data streams and an authenticity of participants in said data exchange in an autonomic network ( 30 ) between multiple information-producing users Pi and multiple information-consuming users Cj, where each includes at least one client ( 40 ) and/or at least one server ( 4 ), a method in which the said autonomic network includes at least one central element ( 44 ) responsible for distributing instructions for optimizing said transfer, at least one observation module ( 46 ) responsible for measuring the characteristics of the streams to be transferred, and at least one optimization module ( 48 ) geographically located in a zone of trust in which applications are deployed, said optimization module ( 48 ) responsible for applying the said optimization instructions, taking into consideration the measurements obtained by the observation module ( 46 ), and in which the clients ( 40 ) and the servers ( 4 ) are configured to exchange mutual authentication settings and security settings of the streams exchanged between the information-producing users Pi and the information-consuming users Cj and, after this negotiation, for checking the integrity of the transferred streams, and implementing protection of confidentiality according to the said security settings and according to the said authentication settings, a method characterized in that it includes the following steps: for each secure session between an information-producing user Pi user and an information-consuming user Cj: a) detecting the initialization of a secure session between a client ( b) introducing a wait period during the negotiation between the client ( c) establishing during said wait period a secure control channel between said optimization module ( d) exchanging non-persistent security settings between said optimization module ( e) applying between the autonomic agent ( f) transferring the optimization instructions between two separate optimization modules when the secure streams change route.
