Guaranteed Architecture for Physical Security (GAPS) Proposers Day (Archived)

The Information Innovation Office is holding a Proposers Day meeting to provide information to potential proposers on the objectives of the new Guaranteed Architecture for Physical Security (GAPS) program. GAPS will develop hardware and software architectures that can provide physically provable guarantees around high-risk transactions, or where data moves between systems of different security levels. DARPA wants to ensure that these transactions are isolated and that the systems they move across are enabled with the necessary data security assertions. The intended outputs of this program are hardware and software co-design tools that allow data separation requirements to be defined during design, and protections that can be physically enforced at system runtime.

Additional details of the GAPS Proposers Day are available at https://go.usa.gov/xEW2U.

Please address administrative questions to GAPS@darpa.mil, and refer to the GAPS Proposers Day (DARPA-SN-19-17) in all correspondence.

DARPA hosts Proposers Days to provide potential performers with information on whether and how they might respond to the Government’s research and development solicitations and to increase efficiency in proposal preparation and evaluation. Therefore, the GAPS Proposers Day is open only to registered potential applicants, and not to the media or general public.
