Security at the hardware level is the goal of DARPA's SSITH program - News
April 10, 2017
ARLINGTON, Va. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) officials launched a new program that aims to protect against cyberintruders at the hardware and circuit level, rather than relying only on software-based security patches. The System Security Integrated Through Hardware and Firmware (SSITH) program aims to design security directly at the hardware architecture level.
