==SECURITY SERVICE ORCHESTRATION FUNCTION BETWEEN COMMUNICATION SERVICE PROVIDERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18576913 titled 'SECURITY SERVICE ORCHESTRATION FUNCTION BETWEEN COMMUNICATION SERVICE PROVIDERS

The abstract describes a method implemented by a Security Service Orchestration Function (SSOF) in a communication infrastructure with multiple Communication Service Providers (CSPs) for orchestrating a Security Service Level Agreement (S-SLA).

* Receiving S-SLA requests from CSPs, each containing multiple requirements.
* Converting each S-SLA request into a consistent and unified S-SLA offerable to other CSPs.
* Offering the consistent and unified S-SLA to each CSP that submitted a request.
* Receiving responses from other CSPs, including acknowledgements or declines with non-repudiation signatures.

Potential Applications:
- Enhancing security service agreements between CSPs.
- Streamlining communication infrastructure operations.
- Improving collaboration and trust among CSPs.

Problems Solved:
- Simplifying the process of negotiating security service agreements.
- Ensuring consistency and clarity in S-SLA offers.
- Facilitating efficient communication and cooperation among CSPs.

Benefits:
- Increased security and reliability in communication services.
- Enhanced transparency and accountability in service agreements.
- Cost-effective and time-saving orchestration of S-SLAs.

Commercial Applications:
"Optimizing Security Service Level Agreements in Communication Infrastructure for Enhanced Collaboration and Efficiency"

Frequently Updated Research:
Stay updated on advancements in security service orchestration and communication infrastructure technologies to enhance S-SLA management.

Questions about Security Service Orchestration Function (SSOF):
1. How does the SSOF streamline the process of orchestrating Security Service Level Agreements?
2. What are the key benefits of using SSOF in a communication infrastructure?


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A method implemented by a security service orchestration function (SSOF) in a communication infrastructure, that includes a plurality of communication service providers (CSPs), for orchestration of a security service level agreement (S-SLA) includes receiving a S-SLA request, by a CSP, from one or more other CSPs. Each S-SLA request includes a plurality of requirements. The method also includes converting each S-SLA request into a consistent and unified S-SLA offerable to each other CSP. The consistent and unified S-SLA includes security attributes that the CSP is capable of providing the other CSPs. The method also includes offering the consistent and unified S-SLA to each other CSP that submitted the S-SLA request. The method further includes receiving a response from each other CSP. The response from each other CSP includes an acknowledgement or a decline of the consistent and unified S-SLA including a non-repudiation signature of acknowledgement or declining.
