Transparent Computing*
Abstract
*Previously funded in PE 0601101E, Project CCS-02 The Transparent Computing program will develop technologies to enable the implementation of more effective security policies across distributed systems. The scale and complexity of modern information systems obscures linkages between security-related events, the result being that detection of attacks and anomalies must rely on narrow contextual information rather than complete knowledge of the event's provenance. This shortcoming facilitates attacks such as advanced persistent threats. The Transparent Computing program will address these problems by creating the capability to propagate security-relevant information and ensure component interactions are consistent with established behavior profiles and policies. Transparent Computing technologies are particularly important for large integrated systems with diverse components such as distributed surveillance systems, autonomous systems, and enterprise information systems.
