Cyber Security, Science and Engineering
Abstract
This project conducts research and development, including design, analysis, evaluation, and deployment, of prototype systems to improve the security of computer hardware, software, and networks. Its goal is assure the resilience of Department of Defense (DoD) missions against cyber-attack and cyber-exploitation, with particular emphasis on the overlap between traditional Laboratory mission areas and the cyber domain. Ongoing efforts and areas of concentration include: foundational approaches for integrating traditional and cyber domains, tools and methods to compute threat-based cyber metrics, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning-based capabilities supporting cyber analysis and decision making, building trustworthy and resilient mission systems even with untrustworthy components, new cryptographic systems and prototypes, side-channel prevention and exploitation techniques in cyber and cyber-physical systems, and techniques for exploit repurposing. Integral to these efforts are demonstrations of the impact of cyber effects on traditional kinetic systems, the quantitative and repeatable evaluation of prototypes, and deployment of prototype technology to national-level exercises. The cyber security mission area uses Line funding to research new cyber security techniques in anticipation of DoD and Intelligence Community (IC) needs and requirements.
