Researchers at Clemson University are part of a team of computer experts from five universities with $3 million from the U.S. National Science Foundation to develop new defenses to protect data currently vulnerable to computer hacking.
The researchers, led by Texas A&M University, are developing S2OS, an operating system they say could fundamentally change how large computer and network systems are built, making the data stored in them and transmitted more secure.
The new platform could be transformative for cloud computing. Although traditional security mechanisms are often fragmented, hard to configure, and hard to verify, the new system would build security directly into computer infrastructure.
