Benchmarking NetBASILISK: a Network Security Project for Science
This work addresses security-performance trade-offs for scientific collaborations, but it is incremental as it focuses on benchmarking an existing project.
The paper tackles the problem of balancing security and performance in distributed scientific infrastructures by developing a benchmark and monitoring system to test for performance degradation when transferring data into a NetBASILISK-protected site, with no concrete results or numbers reported.
Infrastructures supporting distributed scientific collaborations must address competing goals in both providing high-performance access to resources while simultaneously securing the infrastructure against security threats. The NetBASILISK project is attempting to improve the security of such infrastructures while not adversely impacting their performance. This paper will present our work to create a benchmark and monitoring infrastructure that allows us to test for any degradation in transferring data into a NetBASILISK protected site.
