“This book summarizes many years, almost a decade, of research and development on SCION. The reader is brought up to speed with the current state of the Internet, the threat landscape vs. the underlying networking and routing protocols that were designed when the threat landscape was much different. … this is a great book for understanding where we are in today's Internet, and what we need to consider for moving forward.” (Sven Dietrich, Cipher, ieee-security.org, Issue 144, June, 04, 2018)“The writing is precise and easy to comprehend for those who know the underlying principles. … This book must be included in the essential literature study for researchers formulating problems and comprehending trends related to redesigning the Internet. It is a well-suited reference book for a semester course, with lab work for advanced students of networking/data communication design. … This book does a fantastic job of presenting the SCION team’s decade-long work. For aspiring SCION collaborators, it is a treasure.” (Sundara Nagarajan, Computing Reviews, November, 2018)
