High Assurance Computing• Increasing Information infrastructure • Need resiliency against

– security attacks– system failures– software design flaws

• Especially for critical applications:– Automotive applications:

• ABS brakes, electronically-controlled steering, adaptive cruise control,

– Emergency-related telecommunication services

– Medical devices (e.g., cancer radiation treatment)

– Military command and control

• Cybersecurity serious concern:– E-commerce applications– Defense applications
