Consortium for Research on Information Security and Policy

Overview
The Consortium for Research on Information Security and Policy (CRISP) was established at Stanford University in 1998. It was funded by the National Security Agency (NSA) to research the threat of cyber attacks directed against critical national infrastructures. The contract with Stanford was for a multi-track program to provide a forum, develop information, and to analyze options for addressing this threat. The project ended in 2001.
