Dependable Experimentation for Space/Time Analysis for Cyber Security

Abstract

The Space/Time Analysis for Cybersecurity (STAC) program set out to identify new program analysis techniques and create new tools to asses vulnerabilities related to the space and time resource usage behavior of algorithms. STAC sought to enable analysts to both identify and rule out these vulnerabilities in software at levels of scale and speed great enough to support a methodical search for them in the software upon which the U.S. government, military, and economy depend. The results of the final engagement show that under the assumption that the Control Team represents the state-of-the-art in the five vulnerability categories, the STAC R and D performers advanced the state-of-the-art in Algorithmic Complexity vulnerabilities in Time and Space, and in Side Channel vulnerabilities in Time.
