ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are disclosed which incorporate a system for enabling the adaptive modification of the security level of a node in a network based on software use of nodes in the network. The system is particularly applicable to dynamic network i.e. networks in which nodes may be mobile and in which the network topology is not constant.
