Emerging Technologies and DOE Recommended investment areas

Outline DoE mission Key trends DoE research hotspots Key DoE-relevant threats & opportunities

How we view the DOE mission Energy Security – Energy independence, production, distribution, conservation – SCADA systems Nuclear Security – Protecting the nuclear arsenal – Arms control treaty verification Scientific Discovery and Innovation – Fundamental scientific research Environmental Responsibility – Energy efficiency – Climate change treaty verification, cap & trade verification – Integrity of scientific inquiries into climate change etc

Key Trends Technology – Pervasive, networked computing – Vastly increasing amount of on-line, shared data data – Distributed and cloud computing – Computing and functionality as a service (SaaS/PaaS) Society/business – Increased demand for energy conservation – Trend toward collaborative, distributed scientific research – Interconnected commerce (supply chain integration etc) – Social networking Cyberthreat – Commercialization of cyberattacks – State sponsored cyber warfare – Attacks directed at corporations

DoE-relevant cybersecurity threats and opportunities ThreatsOpportunities/Priorities Vulnerability of distributed control systems 1. Secure data / self-protecting data Energy waste via Denial-of-Service-like attacks 2. Secure, privacy-preserving control systems for smart-grid and other applications (next-gen SCADA) Corp espionage3. Characterization of energy grid attacks Credibility of scientific research4. Legal/policy/social frameworks for cybersecurity Energy Waste Law and policy not in line with technical threats Quantum decryption Botnets Distributed/coordinated cyberattacks

The Questions What is critical to DoE? – By construction, addressing the key threats – Exploiting the key opportunities How can this community benefit? – Hope for planetary sustainability – Secure platforms for scientific research – “Internet-of-things” What can this community provide – Research ideas addressing the key opportunities
