DHS Problem – Precision Information Sharing

 The most critical weapon in the War on

  • Terrorism. High priority for DHS.

 22 organizations  interoperability  Data quality  Privacy sensitivity

Fort Knox Tasks

 T1 – Clearinghouse  T2 – Catalog of tools and best practices  T3 – Core Project – Federal Information

Interchange Architecture (FIIA)

 T4 – Satellite research projects  T5 – Tech transition and standards

slide-7

Satellite Research Projects Ongoing Research at U of A

 Adaptive Reliable Data Grid  Grid Data Transforms – automate from

manual flows, add digital right

 Knowledge-based Authentication  Spatial data mining  RFID

slide-8
SLIDE 8

Adaptive, Reliable Data Grid

 Grid = resource pool of cheap machines

– taken together these can process huge data sets in parallel

 Failover and partitioning techniques and

monitoring schemes for managing grid resources

Security & Privacy Assurance

 Couple UARK work on XML-based digital rights

management with Lockheed work on XML-based multi-level secure systems.

 Apply to self-cleaning Acxiom knowledge base.  Potential result:

 Knowledge-based authentication standards of

potential use in US Borders

 Step toward having your cake and eating it too with

respect to seeming tradeoff of security and privacy

 User acceptance is critical

Where to Next?

 UARK and our industry partners are looking

for avenues to work with DHS

 Technology deployment  Technology development  User acceptance  Standards development

 DISCUSSION …
