Security-Aware Systems
Abstract
The Security-Aware Systems program developed and advanced a variety of potentially promising technologies to enable the military to field secure, survivable, self-monitoring, self-defending network centric systems. This program evaluated security aware systems that will avoid brittleness and vulnerability, due to their ability to reason about their own security attributes, capabilities and functions with respect to specific mission needs. These systems also dynamically adapt to provide desired levels of service while minimizing risk and providing coherent explanations of the relative safety of service level alternatives. The systems bolster the reliability and security of critical software systems by reducing vulnerabilities and logic errors, and providing state-of-the-art software analysis techniques augmented with cognitive decision-making techniques. Research efforts also explored provable protection of information and investigate technologies that enable fundamentally new approaches for detecting insider threats.
