security management information base (SMIB)

The Security Management Information Base (SMIB) forms the basis of OSI security management. All information relevant for the security of the communication system is stored in it.

The Security Management Information Base (SMIB) contains all objects that describe the security services and mechanisms. The form and distribution of the SMIB are not regulated. Each end system must have information locally that it needs to enforce its security policy and is itself responsible for its local security.

In practice, parts of the SMIB are located in the Management Information Base( MIB).
