Faculty Fellowship in Support of Tolerating Intrusions through Secure System Reconfiguration

Abstract

This fellowship was intended to increase the capabilities of the identified fellow with respect to the area of security and information assurance by placing the fellow at the University of California at Davis Computer Science Department. This process succeeded by a number of measures. The fellow was able to quickly get up-to-speed on security. He identified several possible new lines of research in the areas of untrusted computing, use of secure hardware, and responses to flash worms. He also developed a new use for deception, which has received funding from AFRL. These ideas were presented and critiqued through several colloquium presentations to the security group at UC, Davis. The fellow is also developing a curriculum for a course in undergraduate security using the new textbook by Professor Matt Bishop of UC, Davis. A number of publications also resulted from this fellowship.
