SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In collaboration with other government agencies, academia, and private industry, DHS seeks to reduce software vulnerabilities, minimize exploitation, VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:49 Jan 31, 2006 Jkt 208001 and address means to improve capabilities to routinely develop and deploy quality and trustworthy software. In furtherance of those goals, DHS established the Software Assurance Program. The DHS Software Assurance Program is grounded in the National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace issued by President Bush in February 2003. DHS began the Software Assurance Program as a focal point to partner with the private sector, academia, and other government agencies in order to improve software development and acquisition processes. The Program seeks to reduce software vulnerabilities, minimize exploitation, and address means to improve capabilities to routinely develop and deploy quality and trustworthy software products—enabling more resilient assets within the critical infrastructure. DHS developed the following comprehensive approach to address software assurance in collaboration with industry, academia, and government partners: • People—Focus on software developers (includes education and training) and users • Process—Focus on developing sound practices and practical guidelines • Technology—Focus on software evaluation tools and R&D requirements • Acquisition—Focus on standards, specifications, acquisition language As part of the Software Assurance Program, DHS now seeks comments from the public and interested security partners on two draft documents now being released prior to formal publication: • Security in the Software Lifecycle— Intended for application software developers and project managers who wish to increase their understanding of security and quality issues related to software and its production, and to improve their own practices in order to produce more secure and better quality application software. This document should provide enough information to assist the reader in defining a strategy for adapting or expanding existing processes and practices to produce more secure software that also achieves a higher degree of quality, reliability, and integrity. • Secure Software Assurance— Common Body of Knowledge—Primarily intended for college-level educators and private industry trainers to use as they create curriculum for software assurance which draws upon multi-disciplinary elements of software engineering, information assurance, project management, systems engineering, safety and security, and acquisition. While some of these disciplines already PO 00000 Frm 00121 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 have a body of knowledge, software assurance has not had a formal source for educators to create curriculum. This document is intended to fill that need. The information in these documents is not intended to represent a standard or policy mandate by DHS. On the contrary, the documents represent a collection of consensus-based, ‘‘sound practices’’ derived from across government, industry, and academia, both in the U.S. and abroad. As such, they should be seen primarily as tools for educating developers and software project managers. DHS will consider all timely and pertinent comments received prior to finalizing these documents. Dated: January 23, 2006. Robert B. Stephan, Assistant Secretary for Infrastructure Protection.
