Homeland Security: Networking, Security, and Policy

This presentation will provide an overview of the recently created Department of Homeland Security, its Science and Technology Directorate, and some of the research initiatives started in the Department. Many of these initiatives provide examples where networking, security, and policy come together in interesting ways as the Department works with critical infrastructure providers to secure the nation's infrastructures. This presentation will explore these issues and provide an opportunity for an open discussion surrounding the various homeland security applications.
