Hardware/Software (HW/SW) Assurance and Integrity Analysis
Abstract
The Department of Defense (DoD) has developed a trusted systems strategy that is based upon mission assurance, comprehensive protection planning, industry standards and advancing DoD’s capability to identify and mitigate HW/SW vulnerabilities through techniques and tools. This project supports research and development focus to advance capabilities that can be made available to current and future programs in acquisition, operational systems and infrastructure. These HW/SW Assurance projects directly support the 2014 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Section 937. It provides funding for the Department’s capabilities to augment and federate existing HW/SW assurance expertise, capabilities and facilities within the Services and Agencies, to address existing gaps, as well as emerging threats and vulnerabilities. The resulting federation will detect, assess and prioritize critical mission vulnerabilities to malicious software attacks and supply chain exploitation vulnerabilities, promulgate findings and mitigate critical vulnerabilities in both HW/SW.
