INFORMATION SECURITY RESEARCH
Abstract
The overarching objective of this activity is to protect the Navy and the Joint information infrastructure from hostile exploitation and attack. The current specific objectives are: a) Network Situation Awareness & Security: Develop tools, techniques and methodologies to improve network resistance to denial of service attacks and improve indications and warnings of suspect activities. b) Network Traffic Analysis and Assessment: Develop methods for conducting network traffic analysis; monitoring and assessing network status and health; identifying new capabilities to analyze network vulnerabilities and attacks; and providing situational awareness of network assets and operations. c) Information Assurance: Develop and measure the effectiveness of Information Assurance (IA) protective solutions and improve the quality and level of certification of information assurance software. The decrease between FY 2009 and FY 2010 was due to an increased level of effort on a one time basis during FY 2009 to support Information Security Research associated with software programmable payload opportunities. The following accomplishments and plans are non-inclusive examples of accomplishments and plans for projects funded in this activity.
