Wildwood
Abstract
Wildwood provided solutions to the widespread cyber challenges faced by DoD and the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) that are the legacy of Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET), Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), and other systems initially designed for small trusted enclaves. Wildwood developed, tested, and deployed a network of spatially diverse nodes on the open internet for experimentation, measurement, testing, and modeling of a proposed network technology, architecture, and hardware that breaks with the historic internet paradigm. Wildwood enables replacement of the current security model by moving from a reactionary profile to a well-designed, defensible, high-speed network architecture that can provide privacy in both fact of transmission and content in traffic. A fully deployed system will radically reduce the cyber vulnerability footprint, without requiring redesign of the legacy, currently vulnerable system, and will reduce the cost of security imposed on DoD, DIB, and civilian systems. Wildwood transitioned to Missile Defense Agency and a classified DoD partner for further development and implementation of a fully deployed system.
