Question:

Suppose that CONTROL, a secret U.S. government counterintelligence agency based in Washington, D.C., has build a communication network that links n stations spread across the world using m communication channels between pairs of stations. Suppose further that the evil spy agency, KAOS, is able to eavesdrop on some number, k, of these channels and that CONTROL knows the k channels that have been compromised. Now, CONTROL has a message, M, that it wants to send from its headquarters station, s, to one of its field stations, t. The problem is that the message is super secret and should traverse a path that minimizes the number of compromised edges that occur along this path. Explain how to model this problem as a shortest-path problem, and describe and analyze an efficient algorithm to solve it.
