Syracuse University is one of thirty-six National Security Agency designated Centers of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education. Our IA program was developed within the Center for Systems Assurance (CSA), whose mission is to promote improvement in systems and information assurance through research, education, and technology trans-

With the increased potential of a bona fide cyber terrorist attack and the possibility of a future “war in the wires”, we must continue to improve the education and training of individuals responsible for defending our national borders—whether those borders are physical or electronic. The Information Analysis and Research (IWAR) laboratory at the United States Military Academy (USMA) has proven...

In December 2001 a meeting of interested parties from fifteen four-year IT programs from the US along with representatives from IEEE, ACM, and ABET (CITC-1) began work on the formalization of Information Technology as an accredited academic discipline. The effort has evolved into SIGITE, the ACM SIG for Information Technology Education. During this period three main efforts have proceeded in pa...

Assurance in the security of rapidly evolving enterprises depends on a complex set of evidence. This paper describes a method for structuring this body of evidence into a manageable framework called an “assurance argument.” The method is extremely flexible, and is capable of including all relevant claims and evidence. The structure allows the practitioner to compare the costs and benefits of di...

Pre-hospital critical care is considered to be a complex intervention with a weak evidence base. In quality improvement literature, the value equation has been used to depict the inevitable relationship between resources expenditure and quality. Increased value of pre-hospital critical care involves moving a system from quality assurance to quality improvement. Agreed quality indicators can be ...

n A application of a special class of hash functions to cryptographic applications is considered in this paper. These hash functions arc used in cryptography to construct manipulation detection codes (MDCs), h’ h w ic arc added to messages to give some measure of assurance to the recipient that it has not been altered in transit. The basic idea is that a publicly known hash function is applied ...
