IAE: Information Assurance Engineering

Information Assurance Engineering (IAE) addresses those measures intended to protect and defend information and information systems by ensuring their Availability (protect against denial of service); Integrity (protect against unauthorized data modification); Authentication (protect against spoofing and forgery); Confidentiality (protect against unauthorized disclosure); and Non-Repudiation (protect against denial of transaction participation). This includes providing for restoration of information systems by incorporating protection, detection, and reaction capabilities. For national security systems, IAE is a vital part of systems engineering that helps, in part, meet overall system security requirements.
