PM View of Meaningful Progress
Biologically-Inspired Diversity
generate 100 diverse versions, lt 33 having same
vulnerability
Genetically-Diverse Computing Fabric
Metric literally achieved, but
E
F
Thousands of diverse versions, lt 2 having same
vulnerability Some scope limits.

• Responses not always triggered
• Responses not always accurate

Progress Against Metric
Metric Achieved!
Granular, Scalable Redundancy
15-fold epidemic performance increase 3-fold
Byzantine performance increase
Massive Defense Reserve
Metric literally achieved, but
gt20-fold latency reduction (many
groups) gtgt3-fold Byzantine increase (gt 5
clients)
E
F

• Generality of techniques in
• question
• False positives a problem
