Researchers developing Vanishing or self destructing electronics to avoid being leaked or reverse engineered

In April 2001, a US Navy surveillance plane was intercepted by two Chinese F-8 fighter planes during a routine patrol flight over the Chinese South Sea. The US plane was forced to make an emergency landing in China, after what officials described as a “minor” midair collision, occurred with one of the Chinese planes. The US …

DARPA’s SD2 developing tools to design complex systems like synthetic biology, neuro-computation and polymer chemistry

Engineers regularly use high-fidelity simulations to create robust designs in complex domains such as aeronautics, automobiles, and integrated circuits. In contrast, robust design remains elusive in domains such as synthetic biology, neuro-computation, and polymer chemistry due to the lack of high-fidelity models. DARPA’s Synergistic Discovery and Design (SD2) program aims …

DARPA’s Transparent Computing programme for defeating complex, sophisticated and stealthy long-term Advanced Persistent Threats ( APTs)

Modern computing systems are essentially black boxes that accept inputs and generate outputs, but provide little-to-no visibility of their inner workings, according to DARPA. It can therefore be extremely challenging to detect an intruder, particularly an ‘Advanced Persistent Threat’: a form of attack in which the adversary slowly and deliberately …
