How are CANES security boundaries separated?

The separation of CANES (Converged Anti-jam Networking and Environmentally-Responsive Secure) security boundaries relies primarily on ADNS (Automatic Digital Network System) Router Policies. These policies are instrumental in defining how data flows within the network while maintaining secure boundaries.

ADNS Router Policies provide a framework for routing decisions that consider both security and operational requirements. They help manage and enforce access controls and segmentation within the network, ensuring that sensitive information remains protected and is only accessible to authorized users and systems. By establishing distinct routing paths and configurations, these policies effectively delineate one security boundary from another within the CANES architecture.

While other options like firewall configurations, network address translation, and intrusion prevention systems play significant roles in network security, they are not the primary tools for establishing the boundaries specific to CANES. Firewalls are typically used to monitor and control incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules. Network address translation maintains the integrity of private IP addresses while facilitating communication with external networks. Intrusion prevention systems are designed to detect and prevent potential threats within the network, focusing primarily on active threat management rather than boundary separation.
