'It Takes a Village' (to create a science): From crypto science to security science

摘要

Government funding for the solutions to security-related problems has increased significantly in the last decade, along with interest in these problems from researchers from many fields. Much of the funding has been in near-term applications to specific systems (health care records; automotive security; remote controls; military applications, etc.), while there has not been enough in support of more general solutions. Many people have agreed recently that it would be useful to incentivize more theory or "basic science" to support security. This presentation will review current government efforts to build stronger scientific foundations for cyber security.
