Tracing real Internet attackers through information correlation

如果这项研究成功完成，这将是一个很大的进步，在跟踪范围，准确性，可用性和部署方面的跟踪互联网攻击者。这将使当局能够控制和惩罚互联网犯罪和恐怖主义。它还将大大减少互联网犯罪和恐怖主义造成的损害。分布式信息关联跟踪系统的原型有可能获得专利，甚至商业化。一个国家追踪对其信息基础设施的任何攻击的真实的来源的能力，是控制这种攻击的核心，因此也是一个国家长期生存和繁荣的核心。

If this research accomplishes successfully, it will be a big step forward on tracing Internet attackers in terms of traceback scope, accuracy, usability and deployment. This will empower authorities to control and punish Internet crime and terrorism. It will also greatly reduce the damage caused by Internet crime and terrorism. The prototype of the distributed information correlation tracing system can possibly be patented or even be commercialised. The capability of a nation to trace the real source of any attacks on its information infrastructure is central to the control of such attacks and hence to a nation's long-term survival and prosperity.
