Lessons Learned in Software Assurance Evaluations (Briefing Charts)

Abstract

The mission of the Center for Assured Software (CAS) is to define and promulgate guidance on software development,evaluation, and acquisition practices that will increase the assurance of DoD software. A software assurance evaluation is a determination of the degree of confidence that software performs as intended, performs no unauthorized functions, and contains no exploitable weaknesses. The CAS has been developing evaluation techniques to define and promote a highly automated, reproducible, well-documented methodology that can serve as the basis for a Joint approach to software security measurement.
