Network Security

The interactions between security and advanced networking are complex. Internet2 members and the entire R&E communty face the usual—and increasingly difficult—issues of security in a networked world. These challenges are compounded by the demands that advanced applications can make.

Performance requirements such as high-bandwidth, end-to-end transparency, and support of new protocols are essential for the academic mission and innovation, but are not easily accommodated in current approaches to network security.
