项目摘要

Proposal Number: CNS-0430254TITLE: A Survivable Information Infrastructure for National Civilian BioDefensePI: Rafail Ostrovsky This project focuses on the theoretical foundation and the protocols that facilitate a survivable information infrastructure that meets the critical requirements of a national emergency response system. Specifically, the project will address the following challenges:(1) expand the existing theoretical framework to analyze the behavior of malicious and colluding participants; (2) design and construct a scalable survivable messaging system that operates correctly under a strong adversarial model that includes insider threat and denial of service attacks; (3) design and construct information access protocols that protect against compromised database servers providing incorrect data or servers that deny access to legitimate users; and (4) prevent malicious users from learning unauthorized information. The domain of application for this work is the Clinicians' Biodefense Network (CBN), a nationwide Internet-based information exchange system designed to provide clinicians with critical information in the aftermath of a bioterrorist attack. The CBN is designed to mitigate benign Internet faults and to resist a physical attack on one location. However, it is not able to correctly operate under a stronger threat model that includes insider attacks. Solutions for this stronger threat model are not currently available and present a major research challenge. This project will construct a prototype survivable system based on the CBN, and from it draw general principles. It will develop a solid theoretical foundation and novel system tools to facilitate building national emergency networks that are resilient against cyber-attacks in crisis situations, when those networks are most urgently needed.

提案编号：CNS-0430254TITLE：国家民用BiodeFensepi的可生存信息基础架构：Rafail Ostrovsky这个项目侧重于理论基础和协议，可促进可生存的信息基础设施，以满足国家紧急响应系统的关键要求。具体而言，该项目将解决以下挑战：（1）扩展现有的理论框架以分析恶意和勾结参与者的行为；（2）设计和构建一个可扩展的可生存的消息传递系统，该系统在强大的对抗模型下正确运行，其中包括内幕威胁和拒绝服务攻击；（3）设计和构建信息访问协议，以防止折衷的数据库服务器提供不正确的数据或服务器，以拒绝访问合法用户；（4）防止恶意用户学习未经授权的信息。这项工作的应用领域是临床医生的生物形式网络（CBN），这是一个基于互联网的信息交换系统，旨在为临床医生提供生物恐怖攻击后的关键信息。 CBN旨在减轻良性的互联网故障并抵抗对一个位置的物理攻击。但是，它无法在包括内部攻击的更强威胁模型下正确操作。目前尚不可用的这种强大威胁模型的解决方案，并提出了重大的研究挑战。该项目将基于CBN构建一个原型生存系统，并从中构建一般原则。它将开发一个可靠的理论基础和新颖的系统工具，以促进建立国家应急网络，这些网络在危机情况下（最迫切需要这些网络）在危机情况下具有弹性。
