Vetting Commodity Computing Systems for the DoD (VET)

Abstract

The Vetting Commodity Computing Systems for the DoD (VET) program is developing tools and methods to uncover backdoors and other hidden malicious functionality in the software and firmware on commodity IT devices. The international supply chain that produces the computer workstations, routers, printers, and mobile devices on which DoD depends provides many opportunities for our adversaries to insert hidden malicious functionality. VET technologies will detect hidden malicious functionality and also enable the detection of software and firmware defects and vulnerabilities that can facilitate adversary cyber attack.
