IARPA: Office of Safe and Secure Operations: BAA-12-03

Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity - IARPA - invests in high-risk, high-payoff research. Promotes research to enhance mission performance while assuring the security of information at rest and in motion. Must demonstrate that their proposed effort has the potential to make revolutionary, rather than incremental, improvements to intelligence capabilities. Examples:
- Computational methods based on architectures other than digital Turing machines.
- New approaches to secure transmission of information using optical, electromagnetic, digital packet, chemical, or biological signals.
- Detection, classification, and mitigation of attempts by adversaries to manipulate electronic data or networked infrastructure.
- Resiliency: approaches to operating securely with imperfect equipment and a compromised network.
- Research to elucidate new approaches to low-energy, low-latency, high-density cryogenic memory as an enabler for superconducting logic.
Funding period of 12 months; no stated monetary funding amounts.
