TRUSTED SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, INC. — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: AF191-063

TRUSTED SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, INC. — SBIR Phase II award from Department of Defense.

Phase II SBIR prototype / development signal

  • Phase II is where Department of Defense funds deeper R&D after feasibility. Incumbents with Phase II history are serious competitors on adjacent topics.
  • Use this award as past-performance context and to map customer organizations for STRATFI/TACFI-style transition planning.
  • At $1,799,999, this is a large obligation for typical SBIR Phase sizing — worth reviewing for scope breadth and teaming opportunity.
  • Topic code AF191-063 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description

Secure systems rely on physical implementation of hardware and software systems, where various information leakage can be observed through various side channels and extracted with advance side channel analysis (SCA) algorithms. Recent advancement in computing, sensors, and SCA techniques have exposed new and more dangerous vulnerabilities. Hence a comprehensive SCA evaluation framework that can greatly facilitate side channel analysis for secure computing system and promote the side-channel aware software and hardware system security design and validation is highly desired. Proposed research effort is to design and develop a extendible SCA testbed which integrates state-of-the-are SCA techniques into secure computing system with internal/heterogeneous sensor and modern processor architectures with Trusted Execution Environment (TEE).
