Stanford Engineers Looking to Reinvent the Internet

Engineers and researchers at Stanford University are working on the “Clean Slate” project, which will create a more advanced network that runs under today’s Internet. It’s expected to be up and running on eight campus networks around the nation by the end of the summer.

The Stanford Clean Slate project won’t by itself solve all the main security issues of the Internet, but it will equip software and hardware designers with a toolkit to make security features a more integral part of the network and ultimately give law enforcement officials more effective ways of tracking criminals through cyberspace. That alone may provide a deterrent.
