"Toward Scalable Denial of Service Attack Prevention" 15 February 2002, 10 A.M. 246 EGRC, Centennial Campus, NCSU Host: Mike Devetsikiotis, ECE Dept., NC State University Presenter: Professor Kihong Park Computer Science, Purdue University "In this talk, I will discuss recent progress in protecting the global Internet against spoofed distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. The new approach is based on distributed route-based packet filtering, a technique that allows networking mechanisms -- as opposed to crytographic methods -- to be used to provide scalable authentication on the Internet. I will show that distributed route-based packet filtering imparts both proactive and reactive protection, and is incrementally deployable." Kihong Park received his Ph.D. in computer science from Boston University, and has been an assistant professor of CS at Purdue University since 1996. His research interests center around quality of service provisioning, traffic control, and fault-tolerant computing.
