Design
Abstract
This enhancement will demonstrate quantifiably assured design concepts in manufactured systems, enabling a formal risk-based approach to protection techniques. Manufactured microelectronics will be tested to ensure that IP protections meet or exceed current National Security Agency (NSA) standards for intellectual property (IP) protection, and to demonstrate the DoD’s ability to detect certain malicious supply chain attacks on DoD microelectronics. This enhancement will also demonstrate a new data driven quantifiable assurance paradigm for supply chain protection. It will strengthen security while improving access, exposing no sensitive IP to the foundry and requiring post-manufacture validation of foundry products. This enhancement will demonstrate quantifiably assured design concepts in manufactured systems, enabling a formal risk-based approach to protection techniques. Manufactured microelectronics will be tested to ensure that IP protections meet or exceed current NSA standards for IP protection, and to demonstrate the DoD’s ability to detect certain malicious supply chain attacks on DoD microelectronics. Successful implementation will transition these technologies to use in DoD programs, obtain access to multiple commercial microelectronics facilities, and solidify a data-driven approach to supply chain protection, including keeping pace with the rapid advancements in microelectronics technology and the globalization of this industry sector. It will provide the basics for updating and strengthening the DoD assurance policy and includes collaborating with industry to employ data driven quantifiable standards.
