Abstract
In previous work we have introduced the notion of supranet. Supra-nets are virtual networks — private to a group of users — that can be built on top of a physical network (e.g., the Internet) by any user of such a network making use of an appropriate software toolkit. We expect supranets to be used in the future by many different types of groups, each with different requirements in terms of security. This paper discusses the ideas on which supranets are based as well as the security issues to be considered when designing supranets on top of the Internet.
