Today's networks are vulnerable to a multitude of known attacks. The best
hackers around, many of whom are now actively working to protect the
network space they now call 'home' with millions of (less-sophisticated)
users, have determined that the best way to protect the Internet as a
whole is to "harden" the network pipes using various cryptographic
implementations. This tutorial will cover some well-known and
lesser-known host hacking techniques, hacker culture, and several
promising methods for hardening the networks against all manner of
terrorist and other attacks; specifically:
building encrypted host-to-host transport pipes with IPSEC so that the
hard-to-patrol side roads along the main "superhighway" backbones are
difficult to gain access to;
creating cryptographically secure authentication protocols for the Domain
space with DNSSEC to prevent spoofing and spamming abuse; and
storing critical cryptographic keying material on well-protected hardware
devices such as smartcards, hardware tokens, etc.
