Abstract

Moving target defense is a conceptual shift from the standard defense mechanisms used on today's statically configured networks. Most mechanisms for moving target defense are limited in the protocols and applications they can support. In this paper, we outline a simple method to identify the network dependencies these have and begin the discussion of where mitigations for dependencies broken by these mechanisms should reside.
