Cyber Security

Lincoln Laboratory conducts research, development, evaluation, and deployment of prototype components and systems designed to improve the security of computer networks, hosts, and applications. A particular focus is the overlap between the Laboratory's traditional mission areas and the cyber domain.

Efforts include cyber analysis; creation and demonstration of robust architectures that can operate through cyber attacks; development of prototypes that demonstrate the practicality and value of new techniques for cryptography, cyber sensing, automated threat analysis, anti-tamper systems, and malicious code detection; demonstrations of the impact of cyber on traditional kinetic systems; quantitative, repeatable evaluation of these prototypes; and, where appropriate, deployment of prototype technology to national-level exercises and operations. The Laboratory develops and deploys control and traffic generation software for many of the Department of Defense's (DoD) largest cyber ranges.

There are three groups focusing on Cyber Security at MIT Lincoln Laboratory:
