Towards Resilient Information-Aware Communication Networks

Abstract

Many communication networks today follow a distributed architecture, informed by a desire for immunity to attack by WMDs. However, the "information architecture" of these networks is based on the assumption that information at one location is not replaceable by that somewhere else. In this project we do away with this assumption, embrace the duplicable nature of information, and view communication networks as distributed data bases that must maintain and serve information in spite of attack by WMDs. Our objective is to create algorithms and mechanisms that transmit "high-value bits at high-speed" in a scalable and attack-resilient manner.
