803: The original announcement from the University of Pennsylvania about

805: "During the last few decades, the government's approach has been

808: industry," said [Prof. Jonathan] Smith, Professor of Computer and Information

810: computers has generally progressed so slowly that the machines,
811: while indeed secure, are technically obsolete by the time they are
812: put into service."
813: <p>
814: "Smith and colleagues at Penn, the software development consortium
815: OpenBSD, and the Apache Software Foundation and OpenSSL Group
816: propose to use the open-source movement - where programmers openly
817: share incremental advances - to try to engineer better security

876: "... the hypothetical question ...
877: of what would happen if FOSS software were banned in the DoD."
878: <br>
879: "The main conclusion of the analysis was that FOSS software plays
880: a more critical role in the DoD than has generally been recognized.
881: FOSS applications are most important in four broad areas: Infrastructure
882: Support, Software Development, Security, and Research. One unexpected
883: result was the degree to which Security depends on FOSS. Banning
884: FOSS would remove certain types of infrastructure components (e.g.,
1.335 david 885: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/">OpenBSD</a>) that currently help
1.334 ian 886: support network security.
887: It would also limit DoD access to, and overall expertise in, the use of
888: powerful FOSS analysis and detection applications that hostile groups could
889: use to help stage cyberattacks. Finally, it would remove the
890: demonstrated ability of FOSS applications to be updated rapidly in

892: imply that banning FOSS would have immediate, broad, and strongly
893: negative impacts on the ability of many sensitive and security-focused

1862:
1863: Stephan Somogyi explains why he runs OpenBSD, largely due to OpenBSD's
1.167 louis 1864: emphasis on security. Some might argue that his example security flaw,
1.206 ian 1865: open SPAM relays, is really no big deal, but we think it raises an
1.167 louis 1866: important point: if an OS or mail system ships with relaying open by default,
1867: what message does that send about that system's resistance to less trivial
1868: attacks. He also chides Intel and 3Com for not providing driver
1.222 miod 1869: documentation to allow their IPsec networking cards to be used.
