Finally, we wish to thank the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory for supporting the development and assembly of the final report. iii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Protecting systems and users, while maintaining ease of access, represents the “perfect storm” of challenges in the area of cyber security. A fundamental tenet of every scientific investigation is the search for truth. Trust and integrity are immutable values that are fundamental to all research endeavors. By extension, the absolute integrity of information, encompassing systems, networks, and file systems is a critical requirement essential for promoting and facilitating discovery. These qualities are equally important for our nation’s critical energy infrastructure. To determine the cyber security research needs for open science and energy control systems, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Science (SC), in cooperation with the Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability (OE), organized a two-day workshop held July 23 and 24, 2007, at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel in Bethesda, Maryland.
