Breakout Guidance Questions

1. Visions for network security across multi-domain, multi-layer heterogeneous networks and what it will enable in 5-15 years. What applications will be enabled, based on advances in the capabilities of this breakout area.

2. Visions for a new trust model that will allow extending secure communications across federated, virtualized, multi-domain networks.

3. What basic research is needed in network security and/or trust models to enable end-to-end secure dynamic, seamless, transparent, heterogeneius network environments including foundational theory for risk modelling and analysis, vulnerabilities trends network protocols and services, cyber security simulations and testbeds?

4. How do we provide end-to-end security in virtualized networks, heterogeous networks, dynamic optical networks, embedded networks, federated networks, sensornets, hybrid packet/switched networks, etc?

5. How do we accomplish coordinated network security in a distributed autonomous network environment?

6. What are the research challenges of distributed intrusion protection/detection, performance measurement, management and incident response in a secure dynamic heterogeneous networkings environment?

7. What are the security vulnerabilities of the emerging control plane and signalling technologies for dynamically switched optical networks?

8. Is there a need for a network security testbed?
