Computers and Humans Exploring Software Security (CHESS)
Abstract
The Computers and Humans Exploring Software Security (CHESS) program is developing technologies to enable computers and humans to reason collaboratively over software artifacts, such as source code and compiled binaries, with the goal of finding vulnerabilities more rapidly and accurately than unaided human operators. CHESS envisions a future in which high-intensity cyber operations are conducted by computer-human teams. CHESS capabilities will be designed for use by humans of varying skill levels, even those with minimal previous cyber experience or relevant domain knowledge. Achieving the necessary scale and timelines in vulnerability discovery will require innovative combinations of automated program analysis techniques with support for mixed-initiative computer-human collaboration. CHESS aims to enable U.S. operational cyber superiority by combining human-generated insight into the vulnerability discovery process with the speed and scale of computational analysis.
