    Oral history interview with Peter G. Neumann
    (Charles Babbage Institute, 2013-06-03) Neumann, Peter G.
    In this interview, computer security pioneer Peter G. Neumann relates his education at Harvard University (A.B. in Math, S.M. and Ph.D. in Applied Math), including an influential (to his perspective and career) two-hour long meeting/discussion as an undergraduate with Albert Einstein (discussing “complexity” and other topics). The vast majority of the interview addresses the many facets of his highly influential career in computer security research. With regard to the latter, this includes discussion of his work at Bell Labs and extensive involvement with MULTICS security, and his subsequent four-decade (and continuing) career as a research scientist at SRI International. He tells of his work and leadership with the Provably Secure Operating System (PSOS), research and writing on risks (including moderating the ACM Risks Forum), insider misuse and intrusion-detection systems (IDES, NIDES, EMERALD), and his current work on two DARPA-funded projects that builds on key lessons of the past to design and develop secure/trustworthy computer systems. He also relates the computer security research infrastructure and how it evolved, as well as comments on a number of other topics such as the major computer security conferences and the range of perspectives of researchers in the computer security research community.

    Oral history interview with Teresa F. Lunt
    (Charles Babbage Institute, 2013-06-04) Lunt, Teresa F.
    This interview with computer security pioneer Teresa Lunt discusses her work in the computer security field at MITRE Corporation, SRI International, DARPA, and PARC. At SRI she was a principal research scientist on IDES, the first meaningful intrusion detection expert system. Lunt also discusses her work at SRI pioneering a highly secure database system (research initially launched by Dorothy Denning), as well as her work at DARPA’s Information Technology Office where she started programs to fund research in computer and network security. The interview concludes with her discussion of security work at PARC, where she is the Director of the Computer Science Laboratory.
