為了有效地防范黑客攻擊，美國軍方正在伊利諾伊大學(xué)啟動(dòng)一項新的研究項目，該項目旨在提高戰場(chǎng)計算機和通信系統的安全性能。伊利諾伊大學(xué)的國家超級計算機應用中心宣布從美國海軍研究辦公室得到了570萬(wàn)美元的經(jīng)費將建立一個(gè)新的研究中心來(lái)研發(fā)針對敵方黑客的新技術(shù)。其他研究項目包括研發(fā)遠程操控無(wú)線(xiàn)電系統監視戰場(chǎng)環(huán)境。
在這一研究項目中，軟件開(kāi)發(fā)商將確定在無(wú)需擔心信息受到攔截的情況下在軍事部隊之間共享信息的最佳辦法，另外美國軍方還在尋求建立一個(gè)能夠快速確認某個(gè)計算機網(wǎng)絡(luò )何時(shí)以及如何受到黑客攻擊的反應架構。與此同時(shí)，確保用以監視戰場(chǎng)環(huán)境的傳感器系統的整合性也非常重要，這種整合性使得作戰部隊無(wú)需擔心受到敵方故意泄露的假信息的誤導完全依賴(lài)自己獲得的信息采取行動(dòng)。
Military Launches Cyber Security Effort

URBANA, Ill. - Hoping to thwart hackers, the military is launching a new research effort at the University of Illinois to improve the security of battlefield computers and communications systems.
Missed Tech Tuesday?

Officials at the school‘s National Center for Supercomputing Applications on Thursday announced an initial $5.7 million grant from the Office of Naval Research to establish a new research center to develop technology against enemy hackers, NCSA director Dan Reed said.
Other research projects will include developing remotely programmed radios and refining ways for monitoring battlefield environments.
The NCSA, located at the university‘s Urbana-Champaign, Ill., campus, is a high-performance computing center that develops and deploys computing, networking and information technology for government and industry.
Software developers will try to determine the best way to share information among military forces without fear of interception. The government also is seeking a framework for determining quickly when and how a computer network is under attack, Reed said.
They also will work to ensure the integrity of sensors deployed to monitor battlefield environments, so forces can rely on their data without worrying about misleading information planted by the enemy.
The same kind of sensors could be used to monitor the integrity of bridges or the movement of traffic, making the research applicable to nonmilitary use, Reed said.
Another project involves the development of portable, remotely programmed radio systems.
Instead of using electronic hardware to control a radio‘s frequency, the radio could be remotely programmed using computer software, making it easily adaptable and secure because it could be instantly deprogrammed if lost to the enemy, Reed said.
Such "software-designed" radios also could make it easier for civilian emergency-response teams to communicate because they wouldn‘t be hampered by devices operating on incompatible frequencies, Reed said.
