Abstract
Prof. Prateek Mittal is an associate professor at Princeton University working on protecting legacy internet communications with a secure backbone of an AS. Some of his key contributions include privacy-enhancing technologies and network security. He discusses how the BGP is vulnerable to routing attacks, and the devastating effects this can have. Because the deployment of SCiON is currently limited, Prof Mittal is currently working on offering users of the legacy internet safe access to SCiON, which fundamentally eliminates the threat of routing attacks.
