Objective:
|
Enable critical users to retain critical functionality
provided by COTS/GOTS software and COTS hardware while under coordinated
enemy network attack (with an emphasis on denial of service and integrity
attacks). Functions can range from traditional human-computer planning
type processes to real-time distributed weapon system control processes.
Necessary administrative operations such as adding a new user can also
continue.

|
Approach:
|
We will utilize robust hierarchical control (based
on QoS performance, integrity, and intrusion sensors and fault tolerance
and attack stopping mechanisms) to deliver a changing mix of critical COTS
and GOTS application services to critical users while under active computer
network attack.
We will extend current QoS mechanisms (for migration, fault tolerance, and connection monitoring) developed under Quorum to include integrity monitoring and maintenance. Based on an intrusion resistant architecture, we will install the mechanisms on a cluster of diverse COTS based computers and employ policy driven adaptive control techniques to achieve intrusion tolerance Our basis for confidence includes:

Recent FY-99 Accomplishments:
|
This is a new start in July 2000
|
|
FY-00 Plans:
|
During the remainder of this fiscal year, we will
do system design, begin work on integrity sensors and adaptive responses,
begin component enhancement, and start building the initial prototype
|
|
Technology Transition:
|
First we will identify the military users who most
require intrusion tolerant services, the development or acquisition agencies
for those users, and the relevant commercial manufacturers or vendors of
survivable systems. Then we will utilize a variety of mechanisms (including
demonstrations, ongoing communications, publications, and making code available)
to create both user pull and technology push among these entities to enhance
the adoption rate for our technologies.
