11. Coordinate security research and development. The GITS Working Group should direct NIST, in coordination with OMB and with technical assistance from NSA, and the Office of Science and Technology Policy's Federal Coordinating Council on Science, Engineering, and Technology, to coordinate the development of a governmentwide plan for security research and development (R&D). The plan should be completed by December 1995. It should provide a baseline assessment of the current R&D investment in privacy and security. The plan should address development and prototyping of the next generation of information systems within the context of appropriate, adequate security and individual privacy features. The plan should also describe a process for continuous technology improvement or advancement, which includes evolving basic research into technology development and prototyping initiatives followed by the introduction of mature features into operational systems. Finally, the plan should recommend prototyping experiments to accelerate use of new technologies in trusted systems and systems having individual privacy protection features.
