We offer the National Academy of Sciences September 1998 report, "Trust in
Cyberspace," a 243-page survey of all security issues and technologies
associated with the Internet and computer networks:

   http://jya.com/tic.htm  (Full report, 882K)

The report reviews prior studies such as the CRISIS report on
cryptography, the PCCIP report on protecting US infrastructure, the DoD
report on Information Warfare - Defense, and several others, assesses
those findings in greater depth, looks at technology and research needed,
and recommends what government (NSA and DARPA) and private
industry/eduation should do to assure security. 

NSA is upbraided for its opposition to strong cryptography and culture of
overcontrolling secrecy. NSA's R2 research unit is singled out as needing
to find ways to compete with industry for the best talent so that the
agency's skills and tools do not lag the world market.
