Baltimore--Protecting computer systems from intruders often means trading away convenience for security. But two approaches described last month at the National Information Systems Security Conference in Baltimore could boost security without hampering users. One would rely on swarms of autonomous programs to monitor a system for intruders. The other, called "software forensics," would examine hacker programs for stylistic clues that could help investigators track down the few "hacker kingpins" thought to be responsible for most malign programs. Details of both projects can be found at http://www.cs.purdue.edu/coast/coast.html.
