The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is offering this grant to advance automated program analysis for cybersecurity. This grant is for the purpose of developing innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advancements in ensuring software security. Specifically, the Automated Program Analysis for Cybersecurity (APAC) program seeks to create new automated analyses capable of proving essential security properties in programs. The primary application will involve demonstrating these analyses through tools designed to safeguard Department of Defense (DoD) Android-based mobile application marketplaces, effectively preventing malicious code infiltration. Research focusing solely on incremental improvements to existing practices is not sought. The goal is to innovate tools that enhance national cybersecurity by securing critical mobile platforms.
