| Integration of an Internet Attack Simulator in an HLA Environment (2000) | |||||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||||
| : A Tactical Internet (TI) comprising the components of the communications infrastructure needed to support future multimedia information requirements will be a key component of the systems architecture as the Army moves toward a digitized battlefield. The evolutionary nature of the technology, along with security issues and data confidentiality requirements make the Internet a focal point of vulnerabilities for both military and commercial organizations. Each component of the TI (computers, radios, routers, switches, gateways, and Command and Control [C2] terminals) is susceptible to intrusion or interference with the intent to disrupt battlefield operations or obtain information without authorization. This paper describes the effort to integrate in a distributed simulation environment an Internet Attack Simulator (IAS) tool capable of simulating attacks likely to be directed against networks based on commercial Internet technology. The Army is using the IAS to evaluate various protec... | |||||||||||||||
