Integrated Design Environment for Assurance (IDEA)

Abstract

This report covers the research and development (R&D) performed by Harris Corporation under a DARPA sponsored effort entitled Integrated Design Environment for Assurance (IDEA). The intent of IDEA was to provide Information Assurance (IA) analysts with the capability to select appropriate software IA tools, seamlessly link them to system data and other tools, initiate and monitor execution, and merge and present results. A key feature is the incorporation of Fuzzy Fusion technology to enable the merging (fusion) of results from individual tools and the presentation of those results in a composite fashion to provide a concise and timely report of a system's security posture. IDEA was performed under DARPA's Information Assurance Science & Engineering Tools (IASET) program. The IASET program came to a premature conclusion in FYOO. As a result, Harris Corporation was not able to develop a demonstrable prototype as originally planned. An architectural design, however, was completed and is reported on.
