Cyber Defense Initiative Workshop: Research and Techology Framework and Plan

该研讨会的目的是制定一个框架，以便通过协调良好的技术、社会和研究活动向前推进，以实现将网络基础设施改造为能够抵御攻击的10年目标。建议同时启动三个协同计划：一到三年的近期活动，两到五年的中期努力，以及长达十年的长期推力。近期的活动将在减少脆弱性方面产生几乎立竿见影的效果，而中长期的努力将带来进步，可以增强或取代现有基础设施的薄弱部分。研讨会将汇集来自政府、工业界和学术界的相对较小的安全计算机系统和网络专家小组。他们将被要求在高层次上解决与大型安全系统的生命周期进程有关的广泛的技术领域和问题。所关注的问题包括需求的获取、规范、设计、实施、配置管理、测试和分析、认证、部署和维护。研讨会的主要产品将是一份描述其参与者制定的框架和计划的报告。预计该计划将包括：*明确的工作目标*评估总体计划进展的方法*随着计划的进展要达到的里程碑和阶段性目标*要解决的技术、社会和研究挑战的特征*描述正在进行的计划将如何与计划相关

The purpose of this workshop is to develop a framework for moving forward with well coordinated technological, societal, and research activities needed to reach the 10-year objective of transforming the cyber-infrastructure to be resistant to attack. Three synergistic plans are suggested to start simultaneously: a near-term activity of from one to three years, a medium-term effort of two to five years, and a long-term thrust of up to ten years. Near-term activities will have almost immediate benefits in vulnerability reduction, and the medium- and long-term efforts will result in advances that can augment or replace weak segments of the existing infrastructure.The workshop will bring together a relatively small group of experts from government, industry and academe in secure computer systems and networks. They will be required to address, at a high level, a broad range of technical areas and issues associated with the lifecycle processes for large secure systems. Concerns include elicitation of requirements, specification, design, implementation, configuration management, tests and analysis, certification, deployment and maintenance.The primary product of the workshop will be a report describing the framework and plan developed by its participants. It is expected that the plan will include:* Well defined objectives for the effort* Methods for assessing overall program progress* Milestones and graduated objectives to be met as the program progresses* Characterization of the technological, societal, and research challenges to be addressed* Description of how ongoing programs will relate to the initiative
