Building a Flexible Nework Infrastructure for Moving Target Defense
Abstract
The Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) is designed to improve the capabilities of U.S. Universities to conduct research and to educate scientists and engineers in selected technical areas of importance lo national defense. DURIP funding provides for the acquisition of research equipment and instrumentation for this purpose. This proposal is for the purchase of computing and networking equipment to build a flexible network infrastructure for implementing and evaluating moving target defense maneuvers. The idea of such maneuvers to proactivcly perform network and host reconfi gurations so as to prevent an adversarry from carrying out its objective. The testbed will consist of software defined network (SDN) switches and servers, which provide the flexibility for performing such dynamic reconfigurations. The infraslructure will support existing research efforts sponsored by ARL, ARO and NSF. The P.I., Professor Krishnamurthy , of the Universi ty of California Riverside will use the equipment to augment and enhance research capabilities in the area of cyber security and network science.
