Byte-Taint Resonance Imaging (ByteRI)

Assured Information Security, Inc. (AIS), in collaboration with Colorado State University (CSU) and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), proposes a second (or sequential) Phase II of the Byte-Taint Resonance Imaging (ByteRI) STTR effort. This iteration of the ByteRI program will expand upon the binary analysis and program behavior analysis concepts identified in the original effort and incorporate new concepts to demonstrate the benefits (e.g., speed and efficiency) of these techniques to the software life cycle management process for IoT platforms. This effort will build upon previous ByteRI research performed by AIS and incorporate new technologies and team members identified within the DARPA Assured Micropatching, or AMP, program. The ByteRI approach will leverage AMP techniques to showcase the impact a micropatch, a small binary patch, can have to development and deployment schedules for vulnerabilities in operational IoT platforms.
