Center for Advanced Research in Information Security (CARIS)

The Center for Advanced Research in Information Security (CARIS) was established jointly by the University of Illinois and Argus Systems Group, Inc. in November 2001 to better respond to the increasingly critical security needs of our nation's electronic infrastructure. The center is located in the Department of Computer Science, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, which has been designated by the U.S. National Security Agency as a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance. CARIS focuses its research on next-generation infrastructure security technologies. Through its research findings, the center increases university and community awareness of information security issues and strives to influence appropriate and effective public policy in the area of information assurance.

The work of CARIS is of particular relevance given current security difficulties: frequent virus and worm outbreaks, threats of cyber-terrorism, and increasingly complex and costly security architectures. CARIS challenges current assumptions about security architectures and methodologies and establishes new areas of research related to integrated security technologies.
