DESCRIPTION:Fraser Research is a not-for-profit institute for clean slate 
 networking research based in Princeton\, NJ.  It aims to conduct leading e
 dge\, long term\, fundamental research in network communications and to br
 oaden and enrich the education of graduate students.\n\nSecurity is a prim
 ary concern. The Internet has brought vulnerability to consumers through t
 heir use of computers\, and to nations through the automation of their inf
 rastructures. Attacks are launched from around the world and there is pess
 imism among experts that these attacks can be blocked. Today\, citizens ac
 ross the United States are inundated with junk mail and many are being rob
 bed by invisible hands. As networked computing becomes deeply embedded in 
 national infrastructures and critical services\, so the risk of national d
 isaster becomes an inescapable concern.\n\nMuch of the present problem ste
 ms from insecure host software\, or from computer users who do not have ad
 equate training to operate their computers securely. This has led some peo
 ple to blame the users rather than the network. However\, a country cannot
  expect its citizens to deploy consumer products with military grade secur
 ity. Nor can it expect consumer products to be manufactured with military 
 standards. A more reasonable solution begins with a network which diminish
 es the risk to its users by itself being robust. Follow that with a servic
 e delivery method that can easily be deployed by ordinary citizens.\n\nIn 
 this talk\, we will present an overview of the Fraser Research network arc
 hitecture that we worked on over the course of the summer and detail how a
  clean slate design can avoid the mistakes the Internet has made. \n
