An Intent-Based Management System for In-Network Computing Functions in Intelligent Moving Objects

초록

As real-time security and adaptive network control become critical in intelligent moving environments, centralized security frameworks like Interface to Network Security Functions (I2NSF) face latency challenges. To address this, we propose the Interface to In-Network Computing Functions (I2ICF) framework, which enables intent-based policy management by relocating security functions and translation closer to the data path. I2ICF performs policy translation, enforcement, and monitoring at the edge or within mobile entities, reducing communication delays. We implement I2ICF on a Kubernetes-based testbed and demonstrate its feasibility in orchestrating service functions for intelligent moving objects (IMOs). These results suggest that I2ICF can serve as a foundation for low-latency, intent-driven management in dynamic environments.
