China has recently passed the United States to become the largest mobile telephone market in the world, topping 200 million subscribers. Network infrastructures have been rapidly developed in China as well. While network reliability and security are major concerns of customers. However, academic researches working on networking, fault tolerance, and security are separated to three technical communities. This paper comments on basic research of reliable and secure networks, and calls for a coordination of the three areas to satisfy our customers for reliability and security of networks. The paper demonstrates the overlaps and coordination of the three areas with some technical problems, such as network intrusion detection, anomaly based detection, trustworthy computing, Byzantine generals problem, secure and fault tolerant INTERNET, recovery oriented computing, benchmarking and evaluation of dependability. The paper encourages researchers to do original work for technical contributions.
