While I lack the skill set to fully appreciate the paper, I must say that it is very refreshing to see innovative proposals on this kind of all-important foundational elements.
These are the kind of submissions that make HN worth visiting, for all its problems. ;)

One more important tidbit from the paper:
We plan to soon release Ethos [experimental robust-security OS] and our Linux MinimaLT implementation as open source software.

It is provided, just typeset weirdly. UIC is centered between the first four authors (Petullo, Zhang, Solworth, Bernstein). AFAIK all four of those are at UIC :)
According to the author's own website[1], his position at UIC is ongoing, as well.

We describe here MinimaLT, a secure network protocol which delivers protected data on the rst packet of a typical client-server connection. MinimaLT provides substantial protections and is extraordinarily simple to con figure and use. In particular, it provides cryptographic authentication of servers and users; encryption of communication; simplicity of protocol, implementation, and con guration; clean IP-address mobility; and DoS protections"
