A trustworthy system is one that performs as intended for a specific purpose, when needed, with operational resiliency and without unwanted side effects, behaviors, or exploitable vulnerabilities. The Trustworthy Information Systems (TIS) Program conducts research, development, and testing to improve the ability to model, build, test, measure, and assess information system trustworthiness through the development and application of new and innovative technologies, models, measurement methods, and tools. The aim of the TIS program is to reduce the risk and uncertainty associated with information systems that must be trusted, and to improve the ability to build in and evaluate trustworthiness in information applications and systems.
