Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 92 / Thursday, May 13, 2010 / Notices 27007 

Background: With the increased 

attention to cybersecurity, the 

President’s Cyberspace Policy Review 

challenges the Federal community to 

develop a framework for R&D strategies 

that focus on game-changing 

technologies that can significantly 

enhance the trustworthiness of 

cyberspace (by ‘‘cyberspace’’ we mean 

the globally interconnected network of 

information technology infrastructures, 

including the Internet, 

telecommunications networks, 

computer systems, and embedded 

processors in critical industries). 

Achieving enduring trustworthiness of 

the cyberspace requires new paradigms 

that re-balance security asymmetries of 

today’s landscape: The cost of 

simultaneously satisfying all the 

requirements of an ideal cybersecurity 

solution in a static system is impossibly 

high, and so we must enable sub-spaces 

in cyberspace to support different 

security policies and different security 

services for different types of 

interactions; the cost of attack is 

asymmetric, favoring the attacker, and 

so defenders must increase the cost of 

attack and must employ methods that 

enable them to continue to operate in 

the face of attack; the lack of meaningful 

metrics and economically sound 

decision making in security misallocates 

resources, and so we must promote 

economic principles that encourage the 

broad use of good cybersecurity 

practices and deter illicit activities. The 

research agenda will be built by initially 

focusing on the three themes and on 

enabling component technologies 

supportive of, or required by these 

themes. 

Invitation to Comment: Input is 

welcomed to refine these themes so that 

they can form the basis of an enhanced 

research agenda, enriching our 

understanding of how to design and 

build a more trustworthy cyberspace. 

Questions that individuals may wish to 

address include, but are not limited to 

the following: 

1. How might the three themes be 

refined or enhanced to further improve 

cyberspace? 

2. What are the research, 

development, implementation and other 

challenges in achieving the goals under 

each theme? 

3. What state-of-the-art activities and 

use-cases can be cited in support of the 

three themes? 

4. How would your organization’s 

future vision support or incorporate the 

three themes? 

5. Should there be a private sector 

organization to act as a partner to the 

public sector in a continuing gamechange process? 

Relevant input received through this 

request will be shared with the Federal 

agencies of the NITRD Program.

NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION 

Toward a Federal Cybersecurity 

Research Agenda: Three Gamechanging Themes 

AGENCY: The National Coordination 

Office (NCO) for Networking and 

Information Technology Research and 

Development (NITRD). 

ACTION: Notice. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Tomas Vagoun at Vagoun@nitrd.gov or 

(703) 292–4873. Individuals who use a 

telecommunications device for the deaf 

(TDD) may call the Federal Information 

Relay Service (FIRS) at 1–800–877–8339 

between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Eastern time, 

Monday through Friday. 

DATES: May 19, 2010. 

SUMMARY: Representatives from Federal 

research agencies will present themes to 

exemplify and motivate future Federal 

cybersecurity research activities. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Overview: This notice is issued by the 

National Coordination Office for the 

Networking and Information 

Technology Research and Development 

(NITRD) Program. In concert with the 

White House Office of Science and 

Technology Policy, agencies of the 

NITRD Program have identified three 

initial research and development (R&D) 

themes to exemplify and motivate future 

Federal game-change cybersecurity 

research activities: (a) Tailored 

Trustworthy Spaces, (b) Moving Target, 

(c) Cyber Economic Incentives. On 

Wednesday May 19, 2010, from 1:30 

p.m.–5:00 p.m. PDT, representatives 

from the National Science Foundation, 

the Department of Homeland Security, 

and other agencies, will present the 

three themes at the Claremont Hotel, 41 

Tunnel Road, Berkeley, CA 94705. This 

event will be webcast. For the event 

agenda and information about the 

webcast, go to: http://www.nitrd.gov/ 

CSThemes.aspx. This event will be the 

first discussion of these Federal 

cybersecurity game-change R&D 

objectives and will provide insights into 

the priorities that are shaping the 

direction of Federal research activities. 

Following this event, an on-line forum 

will be opened at http:// 

cybersecurity.nitrd.gov/ to provide an 

opportunity for comments and feedback.

community welcomes feedback to refine 

these themes so that they can form the 

basis of an enhanced research agenda. In 

the pursuit of these three initial themes, 

we expect new themes, possibly 

complementary and possibly 

overlapping, will emerge, enriching our 

understanding of how to design and 

build a more trustworthy cyberspace.
