DARPA – Reclaiming Bus-based Systems During Compromise (Red-C) – HR001125S0005

DARPA’s Information Innovation Office is seeking innovative areas in the technical areas of cyber, resilience, systems, buses and Zero Trust.

Red-C seeks to recover a system after one or more components in the bus have been compromised.  It is a late-stage cyber-attack recovery program, wherein even after successful compromise the system integrity can be restored and the antagonist removed in the last act.  Red-C will construct a neighborhood watch for components connected via communication highways (buses), by turning components into forensic sensors with introspection and cooperative agreement, via Zero Trust, to enable on-system recovery from cyber-attacks, thus ensuring mission continuity.

Red-C will explore algorithms to construct self-healing systems, by retrofitting firmware for individual components on a bus to function as forensic sensors that collectively monitor peers to detect, repair and inoculate on-system during a cyber-attack.

Red-C is a 24 month program with 2 technical areas:

Technical Area 1Instrumentation – modification of component firmware to generate forensic observable data,

Technical Area 2 – Response – detection, repair and inoculation.

Proposals are due 10 April 2025.
