The Future of Trustworthy Systems and Networks

Peter G. Neumann (Neumann@CSL.sri.com), Senior Principal Scientist,
has been at SRI International’s Computer Science Laboratory in Menlo
Park since 1971.  He spent 10 years at Bell Labs in Murray Hill, New
Jersey, in the 1960s, during which he was heavily involved in the
development of Multics, jointly with MIT and Honeywell.  Mr. Neumann
has doctorates from Harvard and Darmstadt.

His work involves computer systems and networks,
trustworthiness/dependability, high assurance, security, reliability,
survivability, safety, and many risks-related issues such as
election-system integrity, crypto applications and policies, health
care, social implications, and human needs --especially those
including privacy. He is currently principal investigator on two DARPA
projects: clean-slate trustworthy hosts for the CRASH program with new
hardware and new software, and clean-slate networking for the
Mission-oriented Resilient Clouds program. He moderates the ACM Risks
Forum, has been reponsible for CACM's Inside Risks columns, chairs the
ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy, and chairs the National
Committee for Voting Integrity (http://www.votingintegrity.org).

He created ACM SIGSOFT's Software Engineering Notes in 1976, was its
editor for 19 years, and still contributes the RISKS section.  He is
on the editorial board of IEEE Security and Privacy.  He has
participated in four studies for the National Academies of Science:
Multilevel Data Management Security (1982), Computers at Risk (1991),
Cryptography's Role in Securing the Information Society (1996), and
Improving Cybersecurity for the 21st Century: Rationalizing the Agenda
(2007).

His 1995 book, Computer-Related Risks, is still timely.  He is a
Fellow of the ACM, IEEE, and AAAS, and is also an SRI Fellow.  He
received the National Computer System Security Award in 2002, the ACM
SIGSAC Outstanding Contributions Award in 2005, and the Computing
Research Association Distinguished Service Award in 2013.  In 2012, he
was elected to the newly created National Cybersecurity Hall of Fame
as one of the first set of inductees.  He is a member of the U.S.
Government Accountability Office Executive Council on Information
Management and Technology.  He co-founded People For Internet
Responsibility (PFIR, http://www.PFIR.org). He has taught courses at
Darmstadt, Stanford, U.C. Berkeley, and the University of Maryland.
