TITLE: The Future of Cybersecurity: Working Backward, Thinking Forward

ABSTRACT

The past decades have seen huge increases in computing, communications, and
storage capacities available for a given price. They have also witnessed a
similar rise in attacks on computer and communications networks. The
National Science Foundation's Cyber Trust emphasis area was created to move
society towards a state in which its computer systems can be depended on to
provide needed services even when under attack. This talk will review a
little history, survey recent Cyber Trust awards, and speculate briefly
about the future.
