California Scientists Wage Joint War on Internet Plagues

Computer scientists at the University of California, San Diego and the International Computer Science Institute (ICSI), affiliated with UC Berkeley, have joined forces to launch a full-scale assault on viruses, worms and other plagues afflicting the Internet. With $6.2 million in funding over five years from the National Science Foundation (NSF) through its new Cyber Trust program, the scientists will develop technologies to detect, analyze and defend against large-scale Internet attacks.
