A METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING POTENTIALLY MALICIOUS NETWORK ELEMENTS WITHIN A NETWORK USING CROSS-DOMAIN COLLABORATIVE DATA SHARING

摘要

A method for identifying potentially malicious network elements within a network is useable in a network which includes a plurality of domains administrated by different operators P1, . . . , Pn. In the method, a functional entity receives qualifying information regarding at least one network element that has been transmitted by at least some of the operators P1, . . . , Pn. The at least one network element is qualified as being potentially malicious. The functional entity provides at least one of an alarm information and an alarm activity based on a predefined number of the operators P1, . . . , Pn having transmitted the qualifying information regarding a same potentially malicious network element to the functional entity.
