Gene Troy is a long-time computer scientist at NIST, specializing in IT security. He has led NIST's initiative to develop and implement IT security criteria in the US and internationally since 1990. In 1993, Gene helped to organize the follow-on international project to develop the Common Criteria. Gene is also a long-time leader in the ISO committee engaged in developing an International Standard for security criteria. It was largely due to his efforts that the ISO and CC projects were combined, and the CC is now in the final stages of being adopted by ISO as International Standard 15408, opening the door to its global acceptance and use.
Gene is a frequent speaker and lecturer on the topics of IT security.
