5.3 Information and Software Assurance: Resiliency, Security, and Trust in Complex Engineered Systems
Abstract
Major Goals: The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign proposes to perform research in the resiliency, security, and trustworthiness of complex systems involving computers, communications, control, and humans, with application to specific topics of interest to ARO. The research will leverage the significant personnel and resources assembled through the Information Trust Institute (ITI), to perform ground-breaking research in the design of trustworthy complex systems, with an emphasis on the quantitative assessment of the resiliency, security, and trust properties of those systems. The design elements include system architectures, software, hardware, and algorithms; the designs rest upon models and principles from which provable and quantifiable properties can be derived, using mathematical models and methodologies based on techniques drawn from control theory, stochastic systems, decision and game theory, and formal methods. Assessment work also includes development of prototypical software tools for design and decision support. Comprised of over 90 faculty and a dozen technical staff, ITI researchers aim to place the study of security, resiliency, and trust on a firm scientific and engineering basis. The projects ITI takes on span the application space, including control of cyber-physical systems, health information security and privacy, cloud computing, avionics, communication, and computing. ITI is a capable organization for solving foundational and critical DoD problems in trustworthy systems space.
