The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Small Business Programs Office (SBPO) is issuing an SBIR/STTR Opportunity (SBO) inviting submissions of innovative research concepts in the technical domain of side channel security. In particular, DARPA is interested in the feasibility of effective pre-silicon side channel and fault injection estimation. These vulnerabilities are of interest to this program only in the context of emissions from the parts of the design that perform on-chip cryptographic functions. This would permit these vulnerabilities to be identified and reduced to acceptable constraints at design time rather than with a costly chip re-spin after fabrication and test.This SBO is issued under the Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for SBIR/STTR, HR001119S0035. All proposals in response to the technical area(s) described herein will be submitted in accordance with the instructions provided under HR001119S0035, found here: https://www.fbo.gov/spg/ODA/DARPA/CMO/HR001119S0035/listing.html.
