Security Tool Evaluation

Principal Investigators: Steve Hare, Eugene Spafford

Research Assistants: B. Kuperman, Y. Ko, M. Polowski, D. Junk

Sponsor: COAST Laboratory sponsors

The purpose of this group is to gain direct experience in the installation, evaluation, configuration and usage of different security software packages. This project also provides a common software evaluation form for evaluating publicly available software currently on the COAST archive and in the commercial realm, and to install and configure software in a working environment (i.e., the COAST Lab). We intend to use this experience to aid us in developing new tools and in integrating disparate tools together in an effective manner.
