1. AAA

• Knowing who’s on the net, where, and when– DMCA, CALEA, security incidents

• But…– Privacy concerns– Accuracy?

• Granular authentication?

2. Learning new defensive thought processes

• Devices are going to be multi-homed– WiFi / WiMax / cellular / Bluetooth / wired– Malware will just find a way around

• Network enables hosts to coordinate an attack

• Need hosts to use network to resist!– Distributed resources / anycast– P2P

3. Avoiding the straitjacket

• Digitally sign every packet

• Crypto-verify software from boot to app

• /30 subnets

• Firewalls, firewalls, firewalls!

• We’ll keep you niiiiice and safe…
