4 Statements about Science & Security
A presentation made by Dusko Pavlovic at the 2008 Science of Security Workshop.
This presentation explores the following four statements:
1: Secrecy is no problem. Authentication is the problem.
2: Security is older and broader than science.
3: Security on its own is simple. Security in its social context is complex.
4: For a Collaborative Science of Security complexity is a resource, not a limitation.
IEEE Security & Privacy
IEEE Security & Privacy
This special issue of IEEE Security & Privacy presents three articles illustrating and reflecting on aspects of foundational science for computer security. We’re a long way from establishing a science of security comparable to the traditional physical sciences, and even from knowing whether such a goal is even achievable. Nevertheless, the articles in this special issue hint at the possibility and promise of foundational approaches to security.

JASON Report: The Science of Cyber-Security
JASON was requested by the DoD to examine the theory and practice of cyber-security, and evaluate whether there are underlying fundamental principles that would make it possible to adopt a more scientific approach, identify what is needed in creating a science of cyber-security, and recommend specific ways in which scientific methods can be applied.
