Toward Intrusion Tolerant Clouds

Page Content

Research Areas: Network Security

Principal Investigator: Cristina Nita-Rotaru

 

This  project addresses four basic research questions: The design and development of scalable Byzantine replication algorithms that provide performance guarantees even under attack with various assumptions and performance tradeoffs; the design and development of intrusion tolerant messaging engine that provides a tunable tradeoff of cost and tolerance level; the design and development of engine-level diversity mechanisms that ensure that each instance of the replication and messaging engines presents a different attack surface to the adversary; and the design and development of a real-time detection, diagnosis and prediction engine based on global logs.
