Erinn Fulp and Michael Crouse are fighting the continual evolution of viruses, worms and malware with evolution. Together, they are developing the first-ever automated computer configurations that adjust as quickly as the threats.
Fulp is associate professor of computer science and Crouse is a computer science graduate student who was recently named one of the "nation's top new inventors" by Inventor's Digest magazine.
In refining a genetically inspired algorithm that proactively discovers more secure computer configurations, they are leveraging the concept of “survival of the fittest.”
