The Science of Security: Perspectives and Prospects

Abstract: Within the last few years there has been a steadily increasing interest in establishing the Science of Computer Security, starting, at least, as far back as the joint NSF/ IARPA/NSA workshop on the topic in the Fall of 2008. However, from a certain perspective there is actually a much longer history of advances in Computer Security that would qualify as being scientific.

Submitted by Anonymous on

The Workshop on the Economics of Information Security (WEIS) is the leading forum for interdisciplinary scholarship on information security and privacy, combining expertise from the fields of economics, social science, business, law, policy, and computer science. Prior workshops have explored the role of incentives between attackers and defenders of information systems, identified market failures surrounding Internet security, quantified risks of personal data disclosure, and assessed investments in cyber-defense.
