When the internet was created and especially the web, much effort was invested into the interconnection of machines, transmission of messages, and publication of information, and little effort was made concerning the problem of how to avoid malicious users sabotaging the network and published information. Good people will not consider the fact that bad people will share the network with them. Resilience was defined as the ability to recover from faults. This would typically mean infrastructure losses and breakdowns, which were imagined to be random events, natural disasters, or wars, which were large scale local area events. Malicious attacks, however, do not affect components randomly, or locally, but systematically and globally, and in a much more sophisticated manner. Attacks exploit vulnerabilities in the design or code, to make it do things that were never intended or imagined. As such, protection mechanisms have not naturally developed. It is difficult to develop...
