报告简介：

An alarming trend is the increasing number of attacks against computer networks such as the Internet, and also the complexity of those attacks, and so monitoring for anomalous traffic behaviour has become essential. Most network monitors have limited resources that can be rapidly exhausted by network attacks such as distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. Monitoring is also used to establish trust among nodes in a network, and a related class of attacks include those that seek to compromise the trust levels of specific network elements. This is particularly pertinent to the nodes in distributed wireless networks where detection and elimination of selfish behaviour helps to extend the useful lifetime of the network. This presentation will consider a range of techniques that can be used to detect the attack strategies, and provide resilience against various attacks aimed at disrupting the operation of today's networks.
