Abstract The same network infrastructure, that is essential for the operation of today's high valued distributed information systems, can also be misused by malicious attackers. Experience shows that implementing absolute security or completely preventing cyber attacks is infeasible when systems must be highly interconnected and are made of COTS components with unknown security characteristics. Therefore, focus is shifting towards making high value distributed systems survivable, so that they can continue to operate through attacks. This paper describes our experiences in making a DoD application survivable using the DPASA survivability architecture focusing on the network aspects. In particular, we show how a survivable system can be built using sound design principals and a combination of COTS and research grade technologies.
