== Description of work performed during last quarter ==

We continued integration of TUF with distutils.   We have integrated
with Seattle's updater and PrimoGENI.   We have a proof-of-concept
integration with PlanetLab's boot CD.   We have uncovered and begun
addressing usability problems.   We also have insight into the issue
of disclosing a security vulnerability when retrieving an update.

== Publications (individual and organizational) ==

None this quarter


== Outreach activities ==

We gave presentations at several undergraduate research nights on TUF.
 We presented a demo on TUF at GEC10.

== Collaborations ==



We integrated with distutils.   We have integrated into the Seattle
software updater and will be added in the next production release.

We have integrated with PlanetLab's boot CD update mechanism and
PrimoGENI.   We have more work to do to get PlanetLab's integration
into production.   Our understanding is that TUF is used in production on
PrimoGENI.



== Other Contributions ==

Justin gave talks that described TUF (and other topics) at multiple
universities.
