AIP (Accountable Internet Protocol) is a next-generation network architecture that provides accountability as a first-order property. AIP uses a hierarchy of self-certifying addresses, in which each component is derived from the public key of the corresponding entity. AIP enables simple solutions to source spoofing, denial-of-service, route hijacking, and route forgery. AIP's design meets a number of challenges of scaling, key management, and traffic engineering.
