The Red Book

Abstract

After the completion of its second year of operation, the SysSecNetwork of Excellence produced this “Red Book of Cybersecurity”to serve as a Roadmap in the area of Systems Security. To realizethis book, SysSec put together a “Task Force” of top-level young researchersin the area steered by the advice of SysSec WorkPackage Leaders. The TaskForce had vibrant consultations (i) with the Working Groups of SysSec, (ii)with the Associated members of SysSec, and (iii) with the broader SystemsSecurity Community. Capturing their feedback in an on-line questionnaire andin forward-looking “what if” questions, the Task Force was able to distill theirknowledge, their concerns, and their vision for the future.The result of this consultation has been captured in this Red Book whichwe hope will serve as a Road Map of Systems Security Research and as anadvisory document for policy makers and researchers who would like to have animpact on the Security of the Future Internet
