GrIDS: Intrusion Detection

Macrophage attacking a bacterium. Biological defense mechanisms detect external attack and respond to penetration. Using this metaphor, DARPA-funded researchers have developed GrIDS (Graph-based Intrusion Detection System) to detect attacks using "specification-based intrusion detection."



Computer-based patient records

Records containing multidisciplinary images will be available over networks to authorized health care providers through the merging of computerized patient record systems and telemedicine systems in a way that assures integrity and confidentiality. This image illustrates how this work is being done at some VA medical centers nationwide.
