Abstract

Many future collaborative environments targeted to facilitate group
communications will need to provide, among other services, a high level
of security and a high degree of control over the communications. 
Today's communication infrastructures are either inadequate to address
these new requirements or too expensive for wide exploitation by small
groups or associations. We introduce the notion of "supranet" as a
possible solution to these problems. Supranets are virtual networks,
private to a group, that are built on top of a relatively inexpensive
physical internetwork such as the Internet by means of an appropriate 
toolkit. We discuss the motivations behind the design of supranets
and how supranets can offer their users the means to achieve the desired
security levels and to control internal traffic according to a user-defined
set of rules.
