This report outlines the Obama Administration’s road map of priorities for government agencies that sponsor research and development on cyber-security.
As recommended in the Cyberspace Policy Review’s near-term action plan, Trustworthy Cyberspace replaces the piecemeal approaches of the past with a set of coordinated research priorities whose promise is to “change the game,” resulting in a trustworthy cyberspace. As called for in the policy review’s mid-term action plan, this plan identifies opportunities to engage the private sector in activities for transitioning promising R&D into practice. In addition, and consistent with the PCAST recommendations, it prioritizes the development of a “science of security” to derive first principles and the fundamental building blocks of security and trustworthiness.
