MarketNet: A Survivable, Market-Based Architecture for Large-Scale Information Systems

Abstract

The MarketNet project has developed novel information systems protection mechanisms based on market-based paradigms. These mechanisms seek to ensure the systematic, quantifiable, and predictable survivability of large-scale information systems. Specifically, MarketNet has pursued the following objectives: a) Control access to protected resources and domains and establish quantifiable and tunable limits on the power of attackers to access or damage critical information systems resources; b) Establish full accountability among separately administered and mutually distrustful domains, and enable rapid tracing and isolation of attack sources; c) Provide resource-independent instrumentation to monitor resource access, detect intrusion attacks automatically, identify their sources, rapidly isolate attack sources, and deny access, and d) Provide quantifiable protection against loss of critical resources due to attacks or failures. The project has successfully accomplished the design and development of substantial new technologies for protecting systems and applications, including the software implementation of the core MarketNet mechanisms and protection of several network services.
