Abstract
The Internet has been successful beyond even the most optimistic expectations. It permeates and intertwines with almost all aspects of our modern society and economy. The success of the Internet has created a dependency on communication as many of the processes underpinning the foundations of modern society would grind to a halt should communication become unavailable. However, much to our dismay, the current state of safety and availability of the Internet is far from commensurate with its importance.
