DHS Offers $40M For Top Cybersecurity Research

Trailrunner7 writes "The US Department of Homeland Security issued a call for proposals this week in a $40m program to encourage research and development in a wide range of topics related to cybersecurity: from designing more resilient software, to alternatives to passwords and CAPTCHA technology to prevent automated attacks. DHS laid out its areas of interest in a Broad Agency Announcement dated January 26. In it, the domestic security agency said it was soliciting papers and proposals centered on 14 different topic areas. At stake is $40m in federal funding for research and development, with individual grants ranging up to $3 million. DHS's areas of interest include software assurance, enterprise security metrics, usable security, as well as the challenges posed by insider threats."

hey look over there! see that nice distraction we set up for you?

governments have completely lost all our trust. we should know better (but we seem not to).
