Abstract
Network capabilities are a promising approach for building
Denial-of-Service (DoS) resistant networks. In this talk I will survey
three generations of capability-based systems: the basic
first-generation capability systems providing basic protection against
packet flooding, the second-generation systems that provide stronger
protection of the request channel, and the third-generation systems
that provide advanced receiver-controlled request channel permissions.
