The Information Trust Institute (ITI) provides national leadership combining research and education with industrial outreach in trustworthy and secure information systems. ITI brings together over 100 faculty and senior researchers, many graduate student researchers, and industry partners to conduct foundational and applied research to enable the creation of critical applications and cyber infrastructures. In doing so, ITI is creating computer systems, software, and networks that society can depend on to be trustworthy, that is, secure, dependable (reliable and available), correct, safe, private, and survivable. Instead of concentrating on narrow and focused technical solutions, ITI aims to create a new paradigm for designing trustworthy systems from the ground up and validating systems that are intended to be trustworthy.
ITI is an academic/industry partnership targeting application areas such as electric power, financial systems, defense, and homeland security, among others. ITI aims to change the way research and education are conducted in the information trust area by closely coupling industry and faculty researchers to create economic opportunity by achieving rapid technology transfer into new products and services and skilled workforce development.
