This grant opportunity from DARPA is looking for innovative methods to enhance the security of secure messaging applications (SMAs). Although these apps promise security through strong cryptographic protocols, they may have vulnerabilities in their code that can be exploited by advanced threat groups. The goal is to evaluate these security risks systematically and propose defensive strategies to better protect SMAs, which are widely used globally and vulnerable to attacks.

Secure messaging platforms offer the promise of security, but like all software, have flaws which are increasingly used by Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) groups to gain malicious access to sensitive communications. With billions of users worldwide, secure messaging applications (SMAs) represen… Show More
