| dc.description.abstract | The number of Internet connected devices is increasing and have caused the shortage of the IPv4 addresses. The adoption of Network Address Translation (NAT) has solved the IPv4 address depletion problem but it has introduced “reachability problem”. This problem prevents a host on the Internet from being able to reach another host behind a NAT. While several NAT traversal methods have been developed to solve the reachability problem, no ideal solution for mobile phones has been suggested. Customer Edge Switching (CES) is a new experimental architecture for Internet communications that prior to allowing communication between the hosts. It establishes a generalized chain of trust between the hosts. CES aims to replace NAT and removes the problems known in NAT traversal methods. In addition, CES has security features which are more comprehensive in nature and can protect the interest of the served hosts over the Internet. CES proposes policy tools such as Policy Creation and Bootstrapping System (PCBS) and Policy Management System (PMS) to allow the end user to control flows emanating from the Internet to her device. In this thesis, PCBS was developed to provide the end user the ability to create her own policies. The PCBS has a utility tool running on the end user device called Policy App that aims to glean as much information as possible from the device and store that to the User Policy Database (UPS) for further processing, validation and modification by the end user using Policy Interface. The policies that are created are then pushed to the Policy Management System (PMS). The PMS provides the end user policies to the CES nodes that act as firewalls. | en |
