Abstract

This report captures the development, lessons learned, and future recommendations from a collaborative research and development activity between the Air Force sponsored Comprehensive Approach to Reusable Defense Software (CARDS) Program, the Department of Defense (DoD), and the Software Engineering Institute (SEI). This activity explored innovative but practical techniques for formalizing and applying (i.e., reusing) models of information security (INFOSEC) concepts to the development of information systems.
