Critical Infrastructure Protection and Information Assurance Fellowship Program

Abstract : The Sylvanus Thayer Fellowship project supported two Ph.D. level researchers from technical fields related to OnUcal Infrastructure Protection and information Assurance to contribute more centrally to these areas. The fellows have worked in an intense research environment and are now actively engaged in research activities related to information assurance. Their newly acquired expertise is evidenced by their roles in CIPIA activities funded by federal and industrial research projects subsequent to this fellowship. The program has been extremely successful at turning US research scientists towards the nationally important and timely area of Critical Infrastructure Protection and Information Assurance.
