Full Abstract

DHS's National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) provides the coordinated approach that is used to establish national priorities, goals, and requirements for critical infrastructure and key resources (CI/KR) protection so that Federal funding and resources are applied in the most effective manner to reduce vulnerability, deter threats, and minimize the consequences of attacks and other incidents. It establishes the overarching concepts relevant to all CI/KR sectors identified in Homeland Security Presidential Directive-7 (HSPD-7), and addresses the physical, cyber, and human considerations required for effective implementation of protective programs. The NIPP calls for each sector (Information Technology and Communications are two of the eighteen sectors) to work with DHS through Sector Coordinating Councils (SCCs). This talk will provide a short overview of the NIPP, what the IT-SCC and Comm-SCC do, and how you can participate.

The ISP Security BOF aims to bring together operational security practitioners, vendors, and security researchers, to discuss BCPs, seasonable security topics, and other security, network engineering and operations related issues - with due focus on security. It also provides an opportunity for folks involved with operational security response to engage with others in the community, ask questions of the aggregate, introduce themselves and network with peers.

Full Abstract

While various forms of application-layer peering overlays have long existed on the Internet to support applications like email and newsgroups, Voice over IP (VoIP) peering brings with it a new set of elements, policies, and challenges. This tutorial begins with the fundamentals, exploring why peering is even necessary for a largely client-driven application like VoIP. It then surveys the functional elements necessary to peer between telephony-replacing deployments, using the ongoing IETF work on VoIP peering as a touchstone. All of this is considered with a mind to the ongoing evolution of traditional voice services, including mobile telephony, and the rise of other client-driven Internet applications including instant messaging and peer-to-peer file sharing.

Full Abstract

The internet has made many things easier in human society, especially including crime. For the last decade the good guys keep losing and the bad guys keep getting rich -- why? Drawing from contemporary examples including the 2008/2009 "conficker worm", from the rise of drug-resistant microbes, and from Sun Tzu's 2,500-year-old "The Art of War", I will try to explain how our approach and our philosophy defeats us even though we remain the superior force.

Full Abstract

This talk will address the issue with an increased number of unique routes in the routing system, and discuss how the number of routes is increasing more steeply than the number of prefixes. It will discuss how external and internal network architecture has effects on the number of routes, and how a number of other components are effected as a result. It will specifically discuss internal BGP scaling issues, e.g., that of route reflection, and some improvements that can be found by modifying network routing design, implementations, and the BGP protocol itself.

Full Abstract

Software bugs in routers lead to network outages, security vulnerabilities, and other unexpected behavior. Rather than simply crashing the router, bugs can violate protocol semantics, rendering traditional failure detection and recovery techniques ineffective. Handling router bugs is an increasingly important problem as new applications demand higher availability, and networks become better at dealing with traditional failures. Further demonstrating the importance is a string of recent high profile outages, including a very recent incident where a single prefix announcement to a single provider caused a huge increase in the global update rate and instability due to two bugs in routers from two different vendors. In this paper, we tailor software and data diversity (SDD) to the unique properties of routing protocols, to avoid buggy behavior at run time. Our bug-tolerant router executes multiple diverse instances of routing software, and uses voting to determine the output to publish to the forwarding table, or to advertise to neighbors. We design and implement a router hypervisor that makes this parallelism transparent to other routers, handles fault detection and booting of new router instances, and performs voting in the presence of routing-protocol dynamics, without need to modify software of the diverse instances. Experiments with BGP message traces and the XORP and Quagga open-source software running on our Linux-based router hypervisor demonstrate that our solution scales to large networks and efficiently masks buggy behavior.
