DETER Community Workshop Discussed Cybersecurity Experimentation
July 20, 2007

Boston Sheraton Hotel
 
The DETER Community Workshop on Cyber Security Experimentation and Test, was held August 6-7 as part of the 16th USENIX Security Symposium
 
The event had resentations by most DETER researchers.

The workshop addessed issues in the design and use of moderate-to-large scale network testbeds to conduct experiments on security topics such as worm propagation, infrastructure defense (e.g., defending the DNS and BGP routing), and denial of service defense. Such experiments are challenging because of complexity, scale, and possible risk.

The presentation papers are now available online to USENIX members at:
