HAP Program Releases - NSA/CSS

The HAP Program intends to conduct several operationally based demonstrations of assurable platform capabilities. These demonstrations will serve as proofs for some of the emerging hardware-based computing platform technologies. They will create a means to dynamically verify the integrity of the hardware, software, and firmware in computing platforms upon which the infrastructures, services, and applications execute. The HAP Program demonstrations will be deployed in operational environments, thus validating their effectiveness in various operational use-cases specific to the Department of Defense and Intelligence Communities.

The HAP Program plans three reference implementation releases.

Note: These releases are not complete implementations with respect to the HAP Program end-goal vision or objectives.
