SCION introduces the concept of an isolation domain (ISD) which is a logical grouping of autonomous systems (ASes), administered by a smaller subset of the ASes that constitute the ISD core. [5] The ISD is governed by a policy, called the trust root configuration (TRC) , which is negotiated by the ISD core and defines the roots of trust that ...
The root nameservers are critical infrastructure components of the Internet, mapping domain names to IP addresses and other resource record (RR) data. Attacks against the root nameservers could, in theory, impact operation of the entire global Domain Name System, and thus all Internet services that use the global DNS, rather than just specific ...
Intel Threat Detection Technology (TDT) is a CPU-level technology created by Intel in 2018 to enable host endpoint protections to use a CPU's low-level access to detect threats to a system.
