IARPA is soliciting feedback on how to protect the microchips that are used in missile control and other critical military and defense systems. One of the techniques mentioned is "obfuscation," where "the intent of digital and analog functions and their associated building blocks are disguised." Another solution mentioned by Wired/Danger Room is to divide the front/back-end-of-line processing where the more sensitive features of a microchip are finished off at a secure, trusted facility. The security of foreign-sourced microchips is more important now than ever as technology is integrated more into such military applications as aerial drones, robots and missile control systems.
