| | 10 | This workshop will bring together people interested in the topic of attribution in GENI. Attribution, as defined by the organizers of this workshop, is the binding of data (called a characteristic) with an entity (person, process, file, other data, etc). The goal |
| | 11 | of |
| | 12 | attribution |
| | 13 | is |
| | 14 | to show that the characteristic associated with an |
| | 15 | entity has a particular value, or one of a particular set of values. The purpose for using attribution is often to provide accountability—in a cyber-security context attribution is generally used to determine who is initiating an attack |
| | 16 | and therefore assumed to be good and desirable. |
