The pervasive interconnection of
systems throughout the world has given computer services a significant socioeconomic
value that both accidental faults and malicious activity can affect. The classical
approach to security has mostly consisted of trying to prevent bad things
from happening. But what if we could address both faults and attacks in a
seamless manner, through a common approach to security and dependability?
Using ideas from fault tolerance that put emphasis on automatically detecting,
containing, and recovering from attacks, the European project MAFTIA set out
to develop an architecture and a comprehensive set of mechanisms and protocols
for tolerating both accidental faults and malicious attacks in complex systems.
Here, we report some of the advances made.
