Abstract
Long-range research into information assurance and security has seen peaks and valleys over the past three decades, mirroring larger trends including the explosive growth of Internet services and declining technology R&D investment trends. A gulf threatens to develop between the scope and scale of R&D in the private sector, and in the public sector. In particular, rapid iterative advances by commercial and black-hat entities could outstrip government's ability (particularly the US Government's ability) to perform useful basic research and advanced development of innovative tools and algorithms. Yet these malignant trends are occurring at the same time as some very exciting (but unheralded) progress in critical research areas. This talk will examine these trends, explain their context, and discuss significant implications for the field of security research -- and for the advance of trustworthy computing overall.About the Speaker
