Internet routing is woefully insecure - in spite of many attacks and extensive awareness and efforts. But, finally, there is progress - and even some deployable defenses, based on free open-source software - including some that we develop in a CICI NSF project, whose goal is to get Internet Routing Security deployed in educational and research networks. These tools may help against different attacks - including Denial of Service, a significant problem for campuses and for scientific collaboration.

In this webinar, we will explain the challenges of Internet Routing Security, and the main tools - already deployable, in-progress, and briefly mention some less likely to be deployed. We will also discuss our directions, which include development of tools as well as pilot deployment with UConn and Connecticut Education Network. We hope this may help some of you to make progress in improving the security and reliability of networks, and establish cooperation with us as we proceeds with our project.
