In January, 1981, the Computer Security Center was established in the Department of Defense. The Center is encouraging the development of trusted computing systems through technology transfer with industry, and is defining ADP system evaluation procedures to be applied to both Government-developed and commercially developed trusted computing systems. In September, 1984, the President enlarged the mission of the Center to include the Federal civil establishment and segments of the private sector. The National Bureau of Standards' Institute for Computer Sciences and Technology, through its Computer Security and Risk Management Standards Program, seeks new technology to satisfy Federal ADP security requirements. The Institute promulgated cost-effective technology in Federal Information Processing Standards and Guidelines. The Institute cooperated with the Department of Defense in transferring the Computer Security Center's research results throughout the Government and to private industry. Condition: Good.
