 | Introduction The Internet has been characterized as a Critical Information Infrastructure (CII) due to its vital role for the European economy and society. Today, the main indications about the resilience of the Internet come from real-life events and not through solid and compelling evidence from scientific experiments that use rigorous methodologies. Therefore SCNI developed an experimental platform for Internet resilience, security and stability research, called EPIC, that allows us to conduct repeatable experiments in a fully controllable experimentation environment. The platform can efficiently recreate realistic network topologies and conditions (e.g. delay and loss characteristics of Wide Area Network - WAN links) of the Internet infrastructure. The use of the platform is not constrained to disruptive experiments with Internet protocols and systems but can be extended to educational and preparedness activities, and human-in-the-loop testing e.g. as an environment for the execution of cyber security exercises. |

First pan-European cyber-security simulation  | Europe's cyber security experts are putting their skills to the test today in the first ever pan-European exercise. In "Cyber Europe 2010", experts will try counter simulated attempts by hackers to paralyse critical online services in several EU Member States. The event is organised by EU Member States with support from the European Network Security Agency (ENISA) and the JRC's Institute for the Protection and Security of the Citizen (IPSC). |

|
The early development of EPIC has been around three main directions: - platform calibration for scientifically rigorous experiments
- extending Emulab’s monitoring capabilities
- study its applicability as a tool for multi-party operational cyber-security exercises

EPIC- Experimental Platform for Internet Contingencies |
|
|
|
EPIC, the Experimental Platform for Internet Contingencies, is network test-bed for Internet resilience, security, and stability research. EPIC is based upon Utah’s Emulab software, to allow the execution of repeatable experiments in fully controllable experimentation environments. The platform can efficiently recreate realistic network topologies and conditions, e.g. delay and loss characteristics of wide-area network (WAN) links of the Internet infrastructure. |
