System Security Integrated Through Hardware and firmware (SSITH)

Abstract

The System Security Integrated Through Hardware and firmware (SSITH) program sought to secure DoD and commercial electronic systems against cybersecurity threats by developing novel hardware/firmware security architectures and hardware design methodologies. SSITH provided new research in electronics hardware security and exploited current research in areas such as cryptographic-based computing and hardware verification. Implementation of these advanced ideas was enabled by the extremely capable semiconductor technology driven by Moore's Law. The program also investigated flexible hardware architectures that adapted to and limited the impact of new cybersecurity attacks. Finally, SSITH mitigated the potential negative impact of new security protection architectures on system performance and power usage. SSITH capabilities are applicable to both commercial and military electronic systems.
