Active network security for the ABone

This document proposes an approach to implementing security for active networking within the ABone, a DARPA-funded active network testbed[1]. The ABone provides a platform for testing active networking concepts on a relatively large scale and in a realistic networking environment. At present there are two major EEs installed in the ABone: the ANTS EE from MIT/UWashington/Utah[2-4], and the ASP EE from USC/ISI[5].
