| Taking
aim at denial-of-service attacks (cnet) [13th
May 2003]
BERKELEY,
Calif.--Graduate students from Carnegie Mellon University
on Monday proposed two methods aimed at greatly reducing
the effects of Internet attacks.
In
two papers presented at the IEEE Symposium on Security
and Privacy here, the graduate students suggested simple
modifications to network software that could defeat
denial-of-service attacks and that could be implemented
in the current protocol used by the Internet. The symposium,
sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers, began Sunday and lasts through Wednesday.
Steven
Bellovin, a research fellow in network security at AT&T
Labs, said both proposals are credible attempts at solving
for network administrators the sticky problems of denial-of-service
attacks.
