Trustworthy Internet
The term “trustworthy” has a very precise connotation in the European Community’s FP7 research program. For a network to be qualified as trustworthy, it needs to be secure, reliable and resilient to attacks and operational failures. Furthermore, quality o

Foreword
This book aims at providing a snapshot of the various facets (and underlying challenges) that contribute to make the Internet trustworthy. It originated from the 21st International Tyrrhenian Workshop on Digital Communications, an event traditionally organized by CNIT, the Italian inter-university consortium for telecommunication research. The workshop is devoted each year to a specific theme in the area of digital communications and its applications, and the theme selected for this year’s edition was ‘‘Trustworthy Internet’’ (tyrr2010.cnit.it), which the European Union’s research program defines as a network characterized by the following properties: secure, reliable and resilient to attacks and operational failures; guaranteeing quality of service; protecting user data; ensuring privacy and providing usable and trusted tools to support the users in their security management. The workshop program comprised both peer-reviewed papers and invited contributions from leading experts in the field. It provided a lively and exciting discussion on the technical challenges and issues involved in the trustworthy rethinking of the Future Internet. This book aims at offering the f
