TRUST

TRUSTed Systems and Software

TRUST is more than resistance to information attack: Today’s systems and networks are fragile, difficult-to-

compose and maintain:– Non-robust– Non-adaptive– Untrustworthy

Point failures bring down systems Difficult, costly-to-compose useful systems from multiple

components Poor or nonexistent means for building reliable systems from

necessarily unreliable components Poor understanding of vulnerabilities of networks,

performance under – and uncharacterized attacks No clear history, pedigree on data, code

TRUST

TRUST worthy Systems

More than an Information Technology issue Complicated interdependencies and composition issues

– Spans security, systems, and social, legal and economic sciences– Cyber security for computer networks– Critical infrastructure protection – Economic policy, privacy

TRUST: “holistic” interdisciplinary systems view of security, software technology, analysis of complex interacting systems, economic, legal, and public policy issues

Goals: – Composition and computer security for component technologies– Integrate and evaluate on testbeds– Address societal objectives for stakeholders in real systems

TRUST

Research Agenda

Security Science (Schneider)– Software Security (Mitchell)– Trusted Platforms (Boneh)– Applied Cryptography Protocols (Wagner)– Network Security (Joseph)

Systems Science (Schmidt)– Interdependency Modeling and Analysis (Anantharam)– Secure Network Embedded Systems (Wicker)– Model Based Integration of Trusted Components (Sztipanovits)– Secure Information Management Tools (Birman)

Social, Economic and Legal Considerations (Samuelson)– Economics, Public Policy and Societal Challenges (Varian)– Digital Forensics and Privacy (Tygar)– Human computer Interfaces and Security (Reiter)

TRUST

Integration of Research Agenda

Four testbeds chosen to be responsive to national needs: Computer and network security, Critical infrastructure protection, Privacy

– Power Grid (Sztipanovits)– Secure Network Embedded Systems (Wicker)– Planet Lab (Culler)– Cyber Defense Technology Experimental Research testbed

(DETER) (Joseph/Sastry) Technical Management Plan through time sensitive

internal deliverables of software, systems among team members

Exchange of scientific personnel among team members

TRUST

Education Development

Security must be consciously engineered into new and legacy critical infrastructure systems

Every component level needs rethinking and education: need to build in TRUST: security science, systems science and social, legal, economic considerations into every course in undergrad and grad curricula (“liberal” technologically literate education)


10

TRUST

Human Resource Development: leveraging our experience

Cornell has had partnerships with the Information Assurance Institute at AFRL, Rome

CMU students have extensive access to Software Engineering Institute and CERT.

Stanford has extensive interactions with USPS, Secret Service, and brings the Center for Strategic and International Studies for policy matters

Vanderbilt runs the Institute for Software Integrated Systems and Institute for Public Policy Studies

At Berkeley, we have the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS), aimed at bringing innovative technologies to societal scale systems


11

TRUST

Course Work Development

Course work to have TRUST built in at all levels--undergrad, grad, advanced seminars. Repositories will be maintained professionally by the Vanderbilt System CAPE/ELM.

– Security Science: operating systems, programming languages, cryptography, secure networking, …

– Social Sciences: Bringing policy, social, economic issues to student community: economics of information technology, information management, privacy and security

– Systems Science: “systems integration using software” curriculum needs to be developed from scratch, capstone design course for undergrads (or 5th year MS)

– NSA-NSF Cybersecurity Center of Excellence in Information Assurance Education to be developed at San Jose State, on going certification efforts for other Centers of Excellence at CMU


12

TRUST

Workforce Training

Undergrad and Grad Student mentorship and development features

– Exchanging students and postdocs– REU activities at partner campuses– Student Entrepreneurship clubs (Vertex, Bases)– Partnership with Cornell Information Assurance Institute

US workforce in research challenge areas with infrastructure holders, industry partners

Summer and Winter Educational Institutes and Retreats for TRUST

– In-depth discussion of research challenge areas– Testbed and integrative activities

TRUST

Diversity Plans

K-12 Outreach: Berkeley Foundation for Opportunities in IT (BFOIT) for Oakland/Bay Area secondary schools

Summer Research in Information Assurance for HBCU faculty: CMU as a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance education has worked with Howard, Morgan State, UTEP, Hampton, Texas A&M, Corpus Christi, Cal State Fullerton: emphasizes both teaching and research at CyLab

Curriculum Development for Hispanic Serving Institutions: NSA/NSF Center at SJSU in Information Assurance education

Summer Internship for HBCU faculty in Systems Science (SIPHER): California Community Colleges, Fisk, Tennessee State, UAB, Morehouse, Spelman, Tuskegee, …


14

TRUST

Diversity Plans

Summer Undergraduate Program in Engineering Research at Berkeley (SUPERB). Undergrad research for students from institutions serving under-represented groups. Overwhelming demand for TRUST.

Women’s Colleges: Summer Immersion Institute for students from Colleges like Mills, Smith, Ithaca College with sponsorship of CRA-W

Community Outreach: public “town hall” style forums about privacy and security, economic and legislative issues for secure systems. Engagement with local and state authorities, media and first responders.


15

TRUSTKnowledge Transfer Plans: TRUST as a Public Private Partnership

TRUST as a DMZ (trusted intermediary!) between industry, government, non-profit and academia for answering hard questions:

– Who will pay for security– Should the Feds play the role of market maker– Roadmaps for guiding investment– The role of regulation/insurance

Open dissemination of research:– Publications and software– Short courses at ACM/IEEE/Infrastructure Protection meetings– Public lectures and forums– Curriculum development and courses


16

TRUST

Technology Transfer to Start Ups, Industry and Infrastructure Stakeholders

Strategies for improving tech transfer Economic, Legal and Social Implications of TRUST

technology built into technology Testbeds to demonstrate robustness and scalability Developing an eco-system with different

constituencies by– Focused Workshops– Strategic Investment Sessions between stakeholders,

industry, government– Internships for students in industry and infrastructure sectors– Internships for post docs and faculty as entrepreneur

incubators at venture partners


17

TRUSTLeadership and Outreach to other groups

EU-IST and US partnerships in dependability and TRUST

OSTP/DHS workshops Workshops for venture partners Special issues of ACM/IEEE/… ESCHER, a non-profit for repositorying TRUST software ACM-SIGBED Partnerships with Singapore (Nanyang) and Taiwan

(National Chiao Tong and National Taiwan University)

TRUST

Management

Exec Committee made up of PIs + Ruzena Bajcsy (Diversity Outreach Coordinator)

Project Manager and Executive Director for Education and Outreach (TBD)

Each team (Security Technology, Systems Science, Social Science) has its coordinator

Each technical challenge area has its lead faculty, responsible for meeting deliverables/re-negotiating deliverables

Technical Management Plan through deliverables, which can be renegotiated at the bi-annual retreats


19

TRUST

Management

Interdependency among elements built in by interleaving deliverables and using testbeds for integrating and evaluating research products

External Advisory Committee consists of representatives from academia, stakeholders in the government, industry, and utility stakeholders

TRUST

Why an NSF-STC TRUST?

Interdisciplinary problems with issues of law, privacy, economics, and public policy

Problem is too large and complex for any one team. Need to simultaneously work on Security Science, Systems Science (of complex systems), and Social Science issues

Large leverage with education, industrial transition, diversity efforts with large team

No single silver bullet, but a number of novel and promising approaches
