Extended Supply Chain Forum
Abstract: DoD’s threat space for compromised sensitive electronic components is evolving quickly. Existing vulnerabilities included the counterfeiting and cloning of parts, malicious alterations, and supply chain exploits after fabrication. The recent transfer of DoD’s most advanced trusted foundry to foreign ownership now introduces additional risk of IP theft. In our 15 minutes together, we will briefly review the tools and approaches being developed at DARPA for providing trust, and then gaze into the crystal ball and anticipate what the future for hardware security may look like. If we're effective, our security technologies will insure that not only mission success but warfighter lives are not put at risk by compromised components.
