The Charles Babbage Institute (CBI) is conducting a three-year NSF funded research project on computer security, which focuses on the years when the field of “computer security” was just emerging, roughly the late 1960s through the early 1990s with the shift to networked computing and the web. We are “building an infrastructure” for future historical research through conducting 30 oral histories with computer-security pioneers, collecting archival documents, creating a knowledge-networking wiki site, and publishing scholarly work in this field.
