During the technical exercise, participants will hone their practical skills in mitigating a targeted supply chain attack on a corporate ecosystem in real time.
WEF: Footprints on the path: how routing data could reduce the internet's carbon toll (12 Mar 2021)
WEF: Our current internet architecture was conceived for the 1980s. It's time for an upgrade (01 Jun 2021)
Unfortunately, today’s internet architecture is ill-equipped to accommodate such user preferences. The path-discovery mechanism that is used nowadays (a protocol called BGP) provides only a single path between any two points in the internet, offering neither transparency nor choice to users.
To resolve these drawbacks, researchers have been working for over a decade to create a viable alternative. This alternative, the SCION next-generation internet architecture, allows service providers (ISPs) to offer multiple paths to their customers, to augment these paths with valuable information (such as the carbon footprint of the path), and to forward traffic based on their customers’ path choice.
At ETH Zurich, we have been working on a modern replacement to the ageing BGP. The next generation SCION Internet is designed to be provably stable in the face of major disruptions and even hackers. By “provably” we mean that our researchers, aided by state-of-the-art software, applied “formal verification” to devise mathematical proofs of SCION’s stability.

Does SCION make it easier to censor the Internet?
No, SCION makes it strictly harder for a government to censor networks. We are not aware of an attack that a government could perform on SCION that could not be performed on today's Internet. On the other hand, many attacks that are possible in today's Internet, do not work in SCION, for example route hijacking attacks — a SCION path cannot be diverted due to the separation of control and data planes.
SCION FAQ
No surprise the Swiss Octagon, Klaus & the Davos crowd are the puppet masters behind all of it.
7-minute video presentation about enabling novel interconnection agreements with path-aware networking architectures to replace BGP.
Recall the story from April: The Mystery of AS8003 where the DOD activated 175 million IP addresses 3 minutes before Biden was sworn-in. I wonder if this has anything to do with the SCION network upgrade for a private, more robust, secure DOD/Mil Internet.
