DARPA Resilient Anonymous Communication for Everyone (RACE) Program
josha...@gmail.com
I would like to make you aware of the industry day for my new DARPA program entitled Resilient Anonymous Communication for Everyone (RACE). The industry day will be held on the morning of Tuesday, 24 July at DARPA. You can view the Special Notice announcing the industry day here (https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=87c25134fd80f8180b6da3296175f90f). If interested, you can register for the industry day here (https://www.schafertmd.com/darpa/i2o/RACE/pd/). Please feel free to share this email and information with those who you think might also be interested.
Summary:
The RACE program will research technologies for a distributed messaging system that a) can exist completely within a given network, b) provides confidentiality, integrity, and availability of messaging, and c) preserves privacy to any participant in the system. Compromised system data and associated networked communications should not be helpful to compromise any additional parts of the system. RACE advances will be based on rigorous security arguments, such as those found in the academic
cryptography community or statistical arguments based on realistic simulations. RACE will create advances in communication protocol encapsulation methods as well as efficient, oblivious, distributed system tasking, possibly via secure multiparty computation, to build a system that cannot be compromised even with limited participant compromises and large-scale, real-time deep packet inspection. Approaches to preserving privacy are of interest, such as ubiquitous encryption, even during
computation, and obfuscating communication protocols.
All the best,
Josh
