Common Techniques Panel: Common Techniques in Fault-Tolerance and Security

It is our opinion that the security community should draw on the techniques developed by the fault-tolerance community to a significant extent; presently, there seems to be less opportunity for transfer in the other direction. The fault-tolerance community has given significant attention to the development of systems where reliability is a key requirement which pervades all aspects of the design. Security, although clearly a requirement, is often achieved through retrofitting, e.g. intrusion detection, and firewalls.
