Goals
The overall goal of this ISTSG is to develop a national research agenda to address the accelerating threat from malicious code. The study is intended to identify promising new approaches to dealing with the problems posed by malicious code. Such approaches would ideally result in the availability of tools that could reliably detect and block the execution of malicious code. At the same time, such tools would allow the execution of harmless code that had not been previously certified (no digital signature) and allow harmless code relatively full access to system facilities (no sandbox or confinement.)
Process
The process is to hold a small brainstorming and planning meeting, followed by a larger workshop, probably in January, yielding a final report to be delivered to the IRC in the March.
