Abstract: Economic forces and user demand have driven computer systems to increasing complexity and to increasing deployment speed. All complex systems have complicated failure modes, we’ve become reliant on prophylactic anti-malware systems that are increasingly expensive and decreasingly effective. How does the human immunity prevent and manage infection without an A/V subscription or updates? This talk will overview some of the key systems present in human immunity — self/non-self, data reduction, federated system, security in depth — from a Computer Science perspective.
Biography: Scott Miller works in the Advanced Computing Solutions Program, a Los Alamos National Laboratory organization chartered with the forward-thinking research and development of next generation security systems. He holds a Masters in Computer Science from the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, his thesis being “A Bioinformatics Approach to the Automated Analysis of Binary Executables.”
