Guaranteed Architectures for Physical Security (GAPS)
Abstract
The Guaranteed Architectures for Physical Security (GAPS) program developed hardware security and software architectures with provable security interfaces. These interfaces physically isolated high-risk transactions during both system design and system build, and will ensure that such protections are enforced at run-time. GAPS reduced the inherent complexity through the development of hardware and software that is open, extendible, and compatible with size, weight, and power-constrained environments to enable security across DoD and commercial systems. The program substantially lowered the barrier to safely enabling high-risk transactions, thus allowing for fast computer-to-computer transactions, physical spatial isolation reducing the need for unreliable software partitioning solutions, and more complex missions without putting sensitive data at risk. Basic research for this program is funded within PE 0601101E, Project ES-02.
