Foundations of Trust

Abstract

Developed approaches and methods to establish known degrees of assurance that devices, networks, and cyber missions performed as expected, despite attack or error. This technical area encompassed all aspects of the assessment, establishment, propagation, maintenance, and composition of trust relationships between devices, networks, and people. Achieving a trustworthy cyberspace was a critical challenge as corporations, agencies, national infrastructure, and individuals have been victims of cyber-attacks, which exploit weaknesses in technical infrastructures as well as in human behavior. This effort built upon long term foundational basic research in algorithms, models, probability theory, reliability, statistical theory and analysis, system structures, and secure computing, developing and enabling trustworthy cyber systems. Research in algorithms helped develop methods to manipulate automated image processing computation using Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEMs), accelerating graphics processing unit (GPU) analysis. The development and compilation of GPU tools into a library provided meta-learning capabilities that were used to improve trust in digital electronics.
