Former NATO Supreme Commander, retired four-star Gen. Wesley Clark, and Peter Levin, Department of Veterans Affairs chief technology officer, write an article on securing the information highway. The authors lament the research in hardware security has been anemic. Stanford University aeronautics professor Per Enge is exploring ways to adapt methods aircraft manufacturers employ to identify vulnerabilities in the airframes of airplanes to securing computer hardware. They note that an engineer’s ability to absorb knowledge and reconfigure hardware in order to make it more secure is much greater in silicon than in aluminum.”]
