“We are providing the source code specifications, tests, and actually even providing participants at DEF CON with an easy way of actually putting their own malicious software into [the devices],” explains Daniel Zimmerman, principal researcher with Galois, a DARPA contractor working on the project. “We’re not daring them but actually helping them break this.”
In an effort to improve confidence in elections, Microsoft announced Monday that it is releasing an open-source software development kit called ElectionGuard that will use encryption techniques to let voters know when their vote is counted. It will also allow election officials and third parties to verify election results to make sure there was no […]
Today Microsoft announced our joint work on ElectionGuard, a software development kit that will enable anyone to build verifiable and secure elections technology. Leveraging ElectionGuard, voting systems can become end-to-end verifiable and allow for individual voters to confirm their votes were counted, as well as for third parties to validate that an election hasn’t been […]
We’re excited to welcome Dr. James Edmondson to the Galois team as Principal Scientist. Dr. Edmondson’s research focuses on the command and control, visualization, determinism, and trust of distributed artificial intelligence in robotics.
Startup to revolutionize how large and complex embedded systems are created and modernized Dayton, OH, August 9, 2018 – Galois today announced it is spinning out Tangram Flex, a software re-engineering company that provides smart tooling to quickly reconfigure large and complex embedded systems. This enables the reuse of existing components alongside new capabilities, while assuring […]
We’re pleased to announce that Matthew A. Clark is joining Galois as a Principal Scientist. Mr. Clark was previously the lead for Autonomous Manned-Unmanned Teaming for the Aerospace Systems Directorate, Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL).

Cryptographic tool will be leveraged by DHS and, over time, government agencies and corporations seeking to enable cyber security solutions and safeguard sensitive data Galois today announced that it has been awarded a two-year, $800K contract by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) to develop a tool suite for organizations […]
From the article: The CAVES program employs automated reasoning to identify central problems in cryptographic designs early in the design phase, he said. “If you’re exploring a wide variety of possible algorithms … you will quickly rule out the ones that might have security issues,” he added. “You get the benefits of higher security and […]
“As embedded software developers, the tools we rely on must provide us with low-level control of the functionality and performance of the systems we build. There must be an ability to manipulate hardware registers to write device drivers, and we must be certain that no runtime system will interrupt our tasks and lead to missed […]
Kiniry is leading a team that has just been awarded a $4.5 million contract from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to develop tools and methodologies for designing secure CPUs. The project — Balancing Evaluation of System Security Properties with Industrial Needs (BESSPIN) — will develop security metrics and a framework for making decisions about […]
