Distributed, Intrusion tolerant, Push-based Patch Dissimination

01.06.2006

Abstract:
Almost every user of the Internet is aware of that there exist worms and viruses on the Internet. Because worms are a constant threat at the Internet, update programs were introduced to help users keep their systems up-to-date and thereby secure. However, these systems have fundamental problems that make them not responsive enough. We will in this thesis address this problem, and create a prototype for faster patch dissemination.
