CCIED: Collaborative Center for Internet Epidemiology and Defenses

This NSF-funded center is a joint effort with researchers at UC San Diego focused on the growing problem of large-scale subversion of Internet systems. The purview of CCIED is to: (1) analyze this threat, spanning the range from theoretical models to empirical assessments to potential innovations that threaten to develop; (2) devise defenses, both point-wise (for single systems or sites) and more globally; and (3) investigate the surrounding legal and policy issues that in practice affect and constrain approaches for countering the threat.
