WHO TO TRUST?

Tools for Recognizing Useful Signals of Trustworthiness (TRUST)

https:// www.iarpa.gov/index.php/research-programs/trust

The Tools for Recognizing Useful Signals of Trustworthiness (TRUST) Program seeks to significantly advance the IC's capabilities to assess whom can be trusted under certain conditions and in contexts relevant to the IC, potentially even in the presence of stress and/or deception. The TRUST Program seeks to conduct high-risk, high-payoff research that will bring together sensing AND validated protocols to develop tools for assessing trustworthiness by using one's own ("Self") signals to assess another's ("Other") trustworthiness under certain conditions and in specific contexts, which can be measured in ecologically-valid, scientifically-credible experimental protocols.

IARPA Program Managers develop new concepts to address an IC problem, then manage the research from start to finish. They chart the course for their program, which includes:

◾identifying goals and objectives

◾developing rigorous test and evaluation criteria

◾specifying short- and long-term milestones to gauge the health of the program

◾managing all technical, procurement, and financial aspects of the program

The United States does not have a comprehensive program to certify that integrated circuits (ICs) going into U.S. weapons systems do not contain malicious circuits. In response to these concerns, DARPA has initiated its TRUST in Integrated Circuits program to develop technologies that will ensure the trust of ICs used in military systems, but designed and fabricated under untrusted conditions.

The TRUST program will trust only those techniques and testing technologies that can be measured. Basing the degree of trust assigned to an IC on measurable metrics, TRUST makes a radical departure from conventional approaches. Neither metrics for trust nor the testing methods to quantify trust have been used before in IC design and fabrication. This program is pursuing a metrics approach formulated in terms of probability of detection versus probability of false alarms. This provides a clear path to identification of an IC that was maliciously attacked. DARPA departs from the traditional definition, where the Trojan Horse is the signal, to a more basic measurement where any change in the iIC is considered the signal.

TRUST consists of three 1-year phases. The metrics become more difficult in each phase, with the number of transistors examined increasing and the time allowed to perform the examination decreasing. At the same time, the required probability of detecting a change to the IC increases and the probability of declaring a good circuit bad decreases.

Another TRUST program to look into.

The mission of the TRUST project is to coordinate anti-trafficking efforts in Arizona and ultimately increase public awareness about the crisis as it relates to Arizona’s children.
