Abstract: The California Center for Innovative Transportation (CCIT), with sponsorship from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), identified the Caltrans security needs and viable security technologies and best practices to mitigate the potential security risk. The project team created a server for hosting the security forum and security research reports. The access to the server is controlled by a two-level access control for general security documents and security forum respectively. We synthesized some lengthy security reports and posted them to the server. We also presented the project overview, security server and forums to Caltrans, western state Department of Transportation (DOTs), nationwide state DOTs via web-based broadcast (webinar) and at Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) World Congress 2008. Since the objective of this project is to help Caltrans employees keep abreast of the latest security technologies and best practices, the final project report is designed to present information on the assessed security technologies and best practices as much and detail as possible. Much information on the security technologies and best practices presented in this final report are copied from vendors’ websites, white papers and presentations with some editing for clarification.
