As part of the "Pentrating Hard Project" summary, the document discusses steering "IT products and standards" in a direction that is friendly for SIGINT(signals and intelligence), as well as building a "crypotologically useful quantum computer." The "Owning the Net" project discusses manipulating "equipment hardware and software to control an adversary's network.
