Recent Advances on Controlling Unwanted Internet Traffic

One of the key challenges facing today’s Internet is the proliferation of unwanted Internet traffic such as spam,
phishing scam, worm, virus, and Distributed Denial of Services (DDoS) attacks. They raise serious concerns
over the suitability of the Internet for supporting critical infrastructures including communication, finance, energy
distribution, and transportation in its current form. Building trustworthy networks to effectively control unwanted
Internet traffic is a grand challenge faced by the networking community and has a profound impact on the future
development of the Internet.

In this special issue, we solicit original work on identifying new research and development challenges and
developing new architectures, protocols, and techniques to control unwanted Internet traffic. Specific topics
include, but are not limited to, the followings:

    •        Accountable Internet architecture and protocol
    •        IP spoofing control and IP traceback
    •        Application-layer traffic traceback, e.g. VoIP traceback
    •        Worm and virus propagation modeling and control
    •        Botnet detection and control
    •        Spam control
    •        Phishing scam analysis and control
    •        Novel applications of virtual machine technique in unwanted traffic control
