I saw an article at http://www.militaryaerospace.com/index/display/mae-defense-executive-article-display/6351237926/articles/military-aerospace-electronics/executive-watch-2/2010/5/darpa-internet_security.html which states:
"DARPA wants industry to develop technology that also provides the quality of service to enable the government to use Internet services like instant messaging, e-mail, social networking, streaming video, voice over Internet protocol (VoIP), and video conferencing. The four-year SAFER program concerns any technologies that enable anonymous Internet communications to bypass techniques that suppress, localize, and/or corrupt information such as: -- Internet protocol (IP)-address filtering or "blocking," typically by blacklisting the IP addresses of Websites or other services -- possibly by the network operator -- to deny the user access; -- domain naming service (DNS) hijacking, redirecting a user to a different website or service from what the user intended, by supplying a false reply to the user's domain name resolution request; and -- content filtering that captures and analyzes the content of the user's network traffic through deep packet inspection to check whether the traffic contains predefined signatures or sensitive keywords." I just found it interesting. -- I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend, to the death, your right to say it. - Voltaire Those who would give up Liberty, to purchase temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. - Ben Franklin
