Security in the Internet: Towards Perfect DDoS Attacks, and How to Defy Them
On
About
the Talk
Security
in the Internet: for more than a decade,
the problem is imminent, yet we are still far from having viable
solutions! Even worse, I will argue that
DDoS attacks are not yet exploiting their full potential, and show ways to
“improve” the impact of DDoS attacks towards a perfect attack. Consequently, I will also propose a solution
termed Edge-based Capabilities to defy such attacks. This solution advocates for a collaboration
of end systems and networks. Moreover,
as compared to many proposed solutions, Edge-based Capabilities provides direct
incentives to all participants. Finally,
I will conclude my talk with an outlook towards security in a future, clean
slate Internet architecture.
About
the Speaker
Roger
Karrer is a Senior Research Scientist at the Deutsche Telekom Laboratories in
Berlin. He received the Ph.D. in
Computer Science in 2002 from ETH Zurich.
After 2 years as a PostDoc at Rice University in Houston, he joined the
T-Labs in 2005. His research interests
include wireless mesh networks, security in networks, network protocols and
architectures and multimedia streaming.
Among other, he is the project leader of the Magnets project where a
wireless mesh network of 100 outdoor nodes is currently deployed with
heterogeneous technology. Moreover, he
is involved in 3 EU projects from 2008-2011, of which one focuses on
carrier-grade wireless mesh networks and two on clean slate Internet design.

NJ Computer Society and EMS Ch.:
Introduction to Product Focus
On
Thursday, December 20th, 2007, the IEEE North Jersey Section Computer Society
and Engineering Management Chapters will host a presentation titled
“Introduction to Product Focus” by Donald A. Borcherding.
About
the Talk
Development
teams are challenged to develop more products, in a shorter timeframe with the
same or fewer resources. As we all know
this is a difficult challenge and if not properly addressed will create a fast
paced, dynamic and often chaotic, frustrating environment.
A
new solution is emerging which looks at how well the organization’s approach
stacks up against the challenges of their development environment and
introduces a new term called Product Focus.
Product
Focus is the idea that organizations tend to exhibit a consistent behavior when
planning and executing projects and as you would expect, organizations are most
effective when their Product Focus matches their Development Environment.
All
attendees will have an opportunity to complete a survey to identify your
organization’s Product Focus. An
overview on how to interpret your Product Focus will be provided along with
methods and practices to shift and change your focus to better match the
environment. Recently compiled industry
results will be provided to help you determine whether your organization is
consistent with similar size companies.
About
the Speaker
Donald
A. Borcherding has a BSEE degree from the University of Missouri at Rolla and
over 20 years experience in new product development. He has successfully optimized Systems,
Software, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering performance in the Medical
Device, Semiconductor, Defense, Marine and Broadcast Video industries in both
small and medium size organizations.
He
founded NexSummit, LLC to help organizations reduce development cost and
improve time to market. His primary
focus has been to understand an organization’s Product Focus versus their
Development Environment to make improvements that provide the greatest benefit.
