Abstract
As a society we are becoming ever more dependent on computing and communications technologies. Yet the technologies we are using are fragile. We need to develop technologies for a robust and secure information infrastructure. These technologies should be affordable, verifiable, and scalable. In addition to fundamentally new technologies, we also need to develop strategies for strengthening legacy systems that form part of the critical information infrastructure.
