United States develops internet systems to face electronic war

USA has begun developing a special system on the internet to face the danger of electronic attacks.

Many defense Corporations, including the known Lockheed martin corporation, working on creating virtual models which are known as “shooting fields” in the battle of the e-war.

This system allows the researchers to simulate attacks from foreign and of computer hackers in the USA.

 More than 500$ million are funded from the ministry of defense to develop Internet technologies.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) supervises the project which and that contributed to the early research that brought the Internet as we know it today.

This simulation model will be a test for improving defense technologies and maybe attacking also similar to systems that protect networks.

"For a" mini-Internet "can be controlled, will allow researchers to conduct experiments more quickly and requires days, not weeks as is the case now." said Eric Mazakona agency spokesman, Among those participating in the development of this project, Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Will be chosen one of these forms to be entered into the application later this year.

The United States began to increase funding for projects related to the security of the Internet recently.

In 2008, the U.S. military was the target of a large number of Internet attacks, some have described as serious like a virus known as "agent.btz".

The U.S. President Barack Obama in May 2009 declared the threat of the Internet and one of the most serious challenges faced by his country. The administration confirmed that it was vulnerable to attacks from the outside nicknames. The company "Lockheed Martin” has suffered a security breach on the Internet in May 2011.

Earlier this month, the Ministry of defense said it planned deployment of U.S. suggestions for the classification of the attacks on the internet as an act of offensive war.
