Government is seeking public comment about research in cybersecurity
 The White House has identified tailored trustworthy spaces, moving target, and cybereconomic incentives as themes for encouraging future game-changing research and development in cybersecurity for the federal government.
In the notice recently published in the Federal Register, the National Coordination Office for the Networking and Information Technology Research and Development Program outlines the three themes and their challenges. They included the high cost of securing information infrastructures, an asymmetrical cost of attack, and the lack of meaningful metrics when allocating security resources. "Achieving enduring trustworthiness of the cyberspace requires new paradigms that re-balance security asymmetries of today's landscape," says the notice. The National Coordination Office is seeking public comment to help refine the themes. For example, the Office wants to know how the themes could be enhanced, how organizations would support or incorporate the themes, and whether they can cite any state-of-the-art activities and use cases that support the themes. Comments, which will be accepted between May 19 and June 18, can be submitted at cybersecurity.nitrd.gov or by e-mail to
