	Gene Spafford - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eugene H. Spafford (born 1956) (known colloquially as "Spaf") is a professor of computer science at Purdue University and a leading computer security expert.
		Spafford is a member of the President's Information Technology Advisory Committee (PITAC), has been an advisor to the National Science Foundation (NSF), and serves as an advisor to over a dozen other government agencies and major corporations.
		Among notable software designed and/or supervised by Spafford include the freeware Tripwire tool coded by his student Gene Kim (Spafford was later the chief external technical advisor to the Tripwire company during their first few years), and the freeware COPS tool coded by his student Dan Farmer.

	Geartest.com - Interview - Dr. Gene Spafford, Director, CERIAS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Spafford: For the last nine to 10 years I've been working almost exclusively in the area of information security systems and technologies, and integration of that with research in areas related to computing that have an impact on security and reliability of computing systems.
		Spafford: If it had to be a single challenge, from a societal point of view, it would be getting the everyday user who knows very little about how computers work and what security means -- and what the risks are -- to embrace and use good technology and techniques to protect their systems.
		Spafford: Well, the closest that we have to that [is] some of the antivirus tools, some of the personal firewall kits and application of security patches or applying individual security scanners to know that the patches need to be put in place.

	The Spectrum Online:
		Spafford spoke to a packed room in 330 Student Union, discussing the most important issues in cyber security, focusing on the lack of attention paid to security by both the government as well as the private sector.
		Spafford said while serving on the President's Information Technology Advisory Committee (PITAC) from 2003 to 2005, as well as advising over a dozen other Federal agencies and major corporations, it became obvious that no one was doing enough to combat cyber crime.
		Research and development in computer security, something Spafford has worked on for decades, is one of the most important issues in national computer security, he said, and yet it's also one of the most under-funded and overlooked.

		Spafford: A lot of the research that I've been doing myself and with some of my senior students has been more on the back end: the intrusion detection, audit trail generation, computer forensics aspects of systems.
		Spafford: Well, intrusion detection is a term that's been somewhat overloaded recently.
		Spafford: Many researchers are looking at that, [as are] some vendors, but the problem there -- from a commercial standpoint -- is [that] there's little motivation for vendors.

		Eugene Spafford sees security as serious business...nicknames, aphorisms and practical jokes notwithstanding.
		But the bigger reason for your uncertainty probably has to do with Spafford's reputation as a hard-nosed purist who refuses to compromise on his ideals—things like duty, professional ethics and social responsibility.
		As it turns out, all the pretense is quite silly, because one-on-one, Spafford is a friendly, effortless conversationalist who can draw you into any topic of discussion, leading you along like the consummate teacher.

	Your software isn't safe, says Purdue computer security expert (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Open-source operating systems, one of the most popular of which is called Linux, have been touted as the great alternatives to copyrighted software because their code is constantly being examined, revised and made more secure by their legion of users – at least in theory.
		"What we find is that this theory doesn't hold up," said Eugene Spafford, director of Purdue University's Center for Education and Research in Information Assurance and Security (CERIAS).
		Having many eyes looking at code does uncover some bugs, Spafford said, but the open-source movement would not automatically overcome proprietary code's security problems.
