A Secure Cloud Internetwork Model with Economic and Social Incentives (SCIMES)

摘要

The Internet has exponentially expanded to meet the new demands placed on its ever-growing network structure. However, its original data-sharing design cannot address issues, such as malware, Distributed Denial of Service, or the increased need to offer more reliable and trusted connections. With trusted connections come more revenue, reduced risks, and a greater variety of services. However, without incentives to provide better services, infrastructure and service providers have no reason to build a better Internet. The Secure Cloud Internetwork Model with Economic and Social Incentives (SCIMES) provides the framework via a new internetwork model that will support trust ratings, as well as secure social and economic choice mechanisms to promote a more secure Internet. This in turn will result in more revenue for providers and greater benefits for users.
