N2  - A concept of active network extends today's conventional computer network by  making the network programmable. Since active network enables its node to accept and  execute active code embedded in an active packet, security services becomes a very important  mechanism to protect active node from unauthorized users  This thesis proposed a set of security services for active networks by providing  functions of cryptographic algorithms. The thesis renders services of user authentication, data  integrity, and data confidentiality for active networks.  The services are provided by adding a new transfer unit and secure channel to active  network. The transfer unit can transfer active code and data of active network as well as  security-related information. Active node receives the transfer unit from the secure channel,  perform security checks before passing authenticated information to actual active node  environment. Users could specify security options for each transfer unit by providing security  mode in the new security-enabled functions of an active code programming language.  Experimental results of the security services implementation on PLAN active network  demonstrates that each PLAN active node is protected and the PLAN network could be  secured
