CONTEXT-AWARE NETWORK AND SITUATION MANAGEMENT FOR CRYPTO-PARTITIONED NETWORKS

This disclosure describes a context aware scalable dynamic network whereby network information concerning network elements in an untrusted (Black) network are gathered by network sensors, stored at a network sensor collector, and sent to another network sensor collector in a trusted (Red) network through a one-way guard. At the Red network, the network information from the Black network may be combined with network information from one or more Red networks. The combined network information may then be used to visualize a cross-domain network topology of both Red and Black networks, and to implement network management functions.
