Baird introduces computer security legislation By Robert MacMillan, Newsbytes, 11/20/01 <a href="http://www.computeruser.com/news/01/11/20/news2.html">http://www.computeruser.com/news/01/11/20/news2.html> Rep. Brian Baird, D-Wash., Friday introduced legislation to start a research and development program at the National Institute of Standards and Technology to improve computer and network security. The bill, H.R. 3361 - the Computer Security Enhancement and Research Act of 2001 - would support research at higher education institutions for developing better security for networked information systems. The bill awards grants to universities, but also allows collaboration with for-profit companies that develop information security projects, according to a statement from Baird. The program would stretch over 10 years, starting at $25 million in the first year, and is projected to grow to $85 million by the end of its run. He also said that the bill would provide training for new graduate students and postdoctoral research assistants in the computer security field, helping to bring more professionals into this arena. "Right now, we don't have enough people doing research on protecting networked computer systems," Baird said. "At the same time, more and more of us rely on these systems for basic services like electricity and financial transactions." The bill, Baird added, "could yield improved technology to track people that attack Web sites, better technology to secure Internet-based transactions and cheaper ways of protecting databases that are accessed via the Internet." The legislation was referred to the House Science Committee. ------------------ http://all.net/ Your use of Yahoo! Groups is subject to http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/
