Abstract: 

This talk will focus on how network coding can be applied to provide survivable and secure data  transmission in the Internet. After a brief introduction to network coding, we will introduce the basic mechanisms available to provide survivability in the Internet. We will then present a scheme utilizing network coding in order to provide 1+1 path protection in communication networks. At last, we show how the presented scheme may be extended to also provide secure data transmission in communication networks.
