Abstract :
The growing proliferation of malware is raising doubts about the Internet´s future. Security measures primarily target inbound traffic, but service providers have no incentive to stop attacks and spam at the source. A proposed certification scheme motivates providers to control outgoing traffic, efficiently increasing overall security while preserving the Internet´s open, decentralized structure
