Former US DARPA Director Stephen Lukasik, Dr. Sy Goodman , Professor of International Affairs and Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology and Dr. Anthony Rutkoswki, VeriSign, VP for Regulatory Affairs and Standards undertook multiple briefings to US Congress staff and congressmen dealing with the subjects of cybersecurity and infrastructure protection - under the auspices of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
Dr. Lukasik is especially noted for his authorization and support for Internet development in the 1970s, establishing US domestic policies as the FCC's Chief Scientist, and as leader of efforts in the 1990s to bring about cybersecurity capabilities.
In addition to his multiple Georgia Tech security roles, Dr. Goodman spoke as Chair of the National Academy of Science Committee on Improving Cybersecurity Research in the U.S.
Dr. Rutkoswki treated important new developments occurring in the ITU-T concerning the subject of service provider identity and known as Trusted SPID. Trusted SPID - which emerged as a roadmap from the Seoul ITU-T meetings - may well be the most significant and essential cybersecurity development in a decade. The value proposition is simple and long a part of the ITU's role - institute trust in the network infrastructure and services by providing a global means of knowing basic identity information about the providers who comprise those infrastructures and services.
Dr. Goodman and Dr. Rutkoswki are members of the High-Level Experts Group for the Global Cybersecurity Agenda.
