SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Overview: This notice is issued by the 

National Coordination Office for the 

Networking and Information 

Technology Research and Development 

(NITRD) Program on behalf of the 

SCORE Committee. 

Background: There is a strong and 

often repeated call for research to 

provide novel cyber security solutions. 

The rhetoric of this call is to elicit new 

solutions that are radically different 

from existing solutions. Continuing 

research that achieves only incremental 

improvements is a losing proposition. 

We are lagging behind and need 

technological leaps to get, and keep, 

ahead of adversaries who are themselves 

rapidly improving attack technology. To 

answer this call, we must examine the 

key assumptions that underlie current 

security architectures. Challenging those 

assumptions both opens up the 

possibilities for novel solutions that are 

rooted in a fundamentally different 

understanding of the problem and 

provides an even stronger basis for 

moving forward on those assumptions 

that are well-founded. The SCORE 

Committee is conducting a series of four 

workshops to begin the assumption 

buster process. The assumptions that 

underlie this series are that cyber space 

is an adversarial domain, that the 

adversary is tenacious, clever, and 

capable, and that re-examining cyber 

security solutions in the context of these 

assumptions will result in key insights 

that will lead to the novel solutions we 

desperately need. To ensure that our 

discussion has the requisite adversarial 

flavor, we are inviting researchers who
