SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Overview: This notice is issued by the
National Coordination Office for the
Networking and Information
Technology Research and Development
(NITRD) Program. In concert with the
White House Office of Science and
Technology Policy, agencies of the
NITRD Program have identified three
initial research and development (R&D)
themes to exemplify and motivate future
Federal cybersecurity game-change
research activities: (a) Tailored
Trustworthy Spaces, (b) Moving Target,
(c) Cyber Economic Incentives. On
Wednesday May 19, 2010, from 1:30
p.m.–5:00 p.m. PDT, representatives
from the National Science Foundation,
the Department of Homeland Security,
and other agencies, will present the
three themes at the Claremont Hotel, 41
Tunnel Road, Berkeley, CA 94705. This
event will be webcast. For the event
agenda, information about the webcast,
and additional information, go to:
https://www.nitrd.gov/CSThemes.aspx.
This event will be the first discussion of
these Federal cybersecurity gamechange R&D objectives and will provide
insights into the priorities that are
shaping the direction of Federal
research activities. Following this event,
an on-line forum will be opened at

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 92 / Thursday, May 13, 2010 / Notices
Background: With the increased
attention to cybersecurity, the
President’s Cyberspace Policy Review
challenges the Federal community to
develop a framework for R&D strategies
that focus on game-changing
technologies that can significantly
enhance the trustworthiness of
cyberspace (by ‘‘cyberspace’’ we mean
the globally interconnected network of
information technology infrastructures,
including the Internet,
telecommunications networks,
computer systems, and embedded
processors in critical industries).
Achieving enduring trustworthiness of
the cyberspace requires new paradigms
that re-balance security asymmetries of
today’s landscape: The cost of
simultaneously satisfying all the
requirements of an ideal cybersecurity
solution in a static system is impossibly
high, and so we must enable sub-spaces
in cyberspace to support different
security policies and different security
services for different types of
interactions; the cost of attack is
asymmetric, favoring the attacker, and
so defenders must increase the cost of
attack and must employ methods that
enable them to continue to operate in
the face of attack; the lack of meaningful
metrics and economically sound
decision making in security misallocates
resources, and so we must promote
economic principles that encourage the
broad use of good cybersecurity
practices and deter illicit activities. The
research agenda will be built by initially
focusing on the three themes and on
enabling component technologies
supportive of, or required by these
themes.
Invitation to Comment: Input is
welcomed to refine these themes so that
they can form the basis of an enhanced
research agenda, enriching our
understanding of how to design and
build a more trustworthy cyberspace.
Questions that individuals may wish to
address include, but are not limited to
the following:
1. How might the three themes be
refined or enhanced to further improve
cyberspace?
2. What are the research,
development, implementation and other
challenges in achieving the goals under
each theme?
3. What state-of-the-art activities and
use-cases can be cited in support of the
three themes?
4. How would your organization’s
future vision support or incorporate the
three themes?
5. Should there be a private sector
organization to act as a partner to the
public sector in a continuing gamechange process?
