Abstract: Service Oriented Architectures have been increasingly evaluated and applied within military networks. However, existing implementations tend to overlook the constraints of the tactical environment, generating unsuitable requirements of network resources. The ongoing TACTICS project aims to study these constraints and propose solutions suitably adjusted to the tactical ecosystem. Under this scope, the implementation of security architectures presents significant challenges and limitations. In this article we analyse the constraints of tactical SoA over the entire mission life cycle and derive a set of fine granularity security requirements, such that a security policy mechanism may optimally adjust to dynamic network conditions. Furthermore, we present the requisite characteristics of the developed security mechanisms, which are crucial for the real-time computation of policy decisions based on current situational knowledge.
