DO NOT DISTRIBUTE Re-Inventing the Internet:Building Security In CISE National Science Foundationdlfisher@nsf.gov Executive Summary The current Internet is unreliable and vulnerable to attack. Many of these vulnerabilities are inherently in design choices of the architecture Yet critical infrastructures depend upon it. We need to re-invent the Internet. This time we need to design-in security, robustness, flexibility, manageability, evolvability, and… Internet Vulnerability and the Need to Re-invent the Internet 2005 PITAC Report on CyberSecurity “Because much of this (IT) infrastructure connects one way or another to the Internet, it embodies the Internet’s original structural attributes of openness, inventiveness, and the assumption of good will. These signature attributes have made the U.S. IT infrastructure an irresistible target for vandals and criminals worldwide” “A broad consensus among computer scientists is emerging that the approach of patching and retrofitting networks, computing systems, and software to “add” security and reliability may be necessary in the short run but is inadequate for addressing the Nation’s cyber security needs.” Not a new problem 1987 An Agenda for Research in Networking and Communications (NSF) “It is vital to devote much more research, both at the academic level and at the industrial level, to these [survivability] problems before a truly major catastrophe occurs.” 1988 Toward a Network Research Network (NRC) “Privacy and security are issues that are especially important to consider early on… privacy and security in data communications have been underappreciated and underprotected to date” 1991 Computers at Risk: Safe Computing in the Information Age (NRC) “…we cannot wait to see what a attackers may devise, or what accident may happen, before we start our defense. We must develop a long-term plan, based on our predictions of the future,
