Franklin Webber

I am a software engineer. I design, write, and test software. I also try to understand how to guarantee specific properties of software, particularly those that support security and reliability.

As of January 2007, I am employed by GrammaTech for its work on tools for static analysis of code. I also continue previous work as an independent contractor. For the past few years I have primarily been supporting BBN Technologies doing DARPA-sponsored research on strengthening the resistance of computer systems to malicious attack. I have participated in the following projects and was Principal Investigator for the third:

• OASIS Integration, Demonstration and Validation
  The first phase of this program was a design competition, which our team, led by BBN, won. In the second phase, we built a system according to our design and during 2005, subjected it to attack by three separate, professional, "Red Teams".
• "Intrusion Tolerance by Unpredictable Adaptation"
• "Applications that Participate in their Own Defense"

You can read my resume. You can also download freeware and papers that I've written.

I live in Ithaca, New York, USA. My personal life centers on raising two children:

• Americia Weber
• William Webber

Here are some photos of me and of places I've traveled, and some opinions I've not seen or heard expressed elsewhere.
