In Obama's plan, he want's to improve intelligence capacity and information sharing by collecting, analyzing and sharing intelligence/information better and faster; expanding digital information and communication through securing the internet; securing borders and ports by enhancing transportation networks; strengthening the transportation infrastructure and lastly, upgrading nuclear and biomedical security by establishing well planned coordinated responses in case of emergencies and discovering vaccines for diseases.
Romney's plan on the other hand focused mostly on mostly international improvements such as promoting Democracy around the world, helping allies increase defenses and investments in security, building a stronger military and so on. His similarity with Obama on improving and investing in basic science research and technology, is barely mentioned, while his view in updating nuclear deterrent is to update the missile defensive system. Therefore, Romney is basically focused on military improvements; the more advanced and bigger the U.S. military is, the more secure America becomes.
Both of these plans cover major points and have very viable ideas however, I believe Romney focuses too much on the U.S. military and not as much on securing the digital network for example while Obama barely mentions improving the military at all (which is declining quantity-wise). And therefore, I cannot choose which plan would be better for America, although I slightly view Obama's plan as better.
