Department of Defense Sponsored Information Security Research (eBook)

In 2001, the Director of Defense research and Engineering in the Office of the Secretary of Defense initiated an $80 million, five-year research program at U.S. universities in critical infrastructure protection and high confidence adaptable software. Managed by the Department of Defense science offices, these projects produced the results summarized here.
