TC: Small: Securing the Router Infrastructure of the Internet

互联网代表了需要保护免受恶意攻击的重要通信基础设施。许多现有的攻击和相应的防御机制都集中在连接到互联网的计算机上，而不是网络基础设施本身。然而，网络也可能受到攻击，因为现代网络组件使用的软件和硬件组件可能会表现出以前没有研究过的漏洞。这个项目探索了这种新型的...网络攻击，并开发了一种新的方法来提供基于硬件监控技术的网络硬件的基本安全功能。本研究的目标是显着提高对互联网基础设施中出现的漏洞的理解，并开发一个硬件监控系统，可以检测和阻止整个一类新的攻击，以保持一个可操作的互联网这项研究的设计，实施和操作的保护路由器平台是必不可少的互联网的持续成功。此外，该项目将代表性不足的少数民族和本科生纳入研究，开发教学组件，并通过研究生培训促进劳动力发展。

The Internet represents essential communication infrastructure that needs to be protected from malicious attacks. Many existing attacks and corresponding defense mechanisms have focused on the computers connected to the Internet rather than the network infrastructure itself. However, the network can also be attacked since modern network components use software and hardware components that can exhibit vulnerabilities that have not been previously studied. This project explores this new type of in-network attacks and develops a novel approach to providing fundamental security capabilities in networking hardware based on hardware monitoring techniques.The goals of this research are to significantly improve the understanding of emerging vulnerabilities in the Internet infrastructure and to develop a hardware monitoring system that can detect and stop an entire class of new attacks in order to maintain an operational Internet. This research on the design, implementation, and operation of protected router platforms is essential for the continued success of the Internet. In addition, this project integrates underrepresented minority and undergraduate students into research, develops instructional components, and contributes to workforce development through graduate student training.
