CEAS and DESIST?
CEAS and DESIST?
Peter Neumann, Principal Scientist, Principled Systems Group, Computer Science Lab, SRI International.
This talk will take a far-reaching big-picture view of some fundamental
problems that must be confronted in the future, spanning issues such as
security, reliability, survivability, safety, critical infrastructure
protection, homeland security, national security, long-term research,
sound science, free and open source software, and the development of
predictably trustworthy systems and networks that can avoid past and
foreseeable risks. Clearly, E-mail And Spam (CEAS!) are just one piece of
the overall puzzle. In this context, the last part of the whimsical
talk title (DESIST!) might be considered as a polymorphic backronym:
Don't Encourage Simplistically Inadequate Software Techniques,
or perhaps
Dependably Engineered Secure Information System Technology.
In any event, some radical changes are necessary and will be considered.
