Evans & Sutherland Distinguished Lecture Series Computation in the Wild: New approaches to Computer Security Stephanie Forrest University of New Mexico Host: Al Davis Abstract Our software infrastructure confronts a situation increasingly similar to the challenges faced by living organisms in a biological ecosystem. Highly dynamic, complex, and hostile environments are placing new demands on our computational infrastructure. Biological design principles can potentially change the way we engineer, maintain, and evolve large dynamic software infrastructures. Examples of such principles include: adaptability, homeostasis, redundancy, and diversity.The talk will illustrate how biological design principles are providing new insights and approaches in the field of computer security. The talk will emphasize recent results in automated diversity and using epidemiological approaches to understand and control widespread network-based attacks.
