| Abstract: | The invention relates to a reconfigurable scalable
intrusion-tolerant network that is interposed between a service
requesting client and a protected server to minimize the impact of
intrusive events. The apparatus may include a proxy server for
receiving the requests from a client and forwarding them to a
protected server. Acceptance monitors receive the response from a
protected server and apply one or more acceptance tests. A ballot
monitor receives the result of the acceptance tests and determines
a response to the client. The network may also include an intrusion
sensor to detect threats to the network and a reconfigurer to alter
the network forwarding scheme. Reconfiguration may include
isolating network elements, creating parallel paths, implementing
redundant operations, or assessing the validity of responses. |
