Welcome to the CAP Center — A Leader in Hardware Security

Our mission is to provide the electronics industry and intelligence community with knowledge, methodology, solutions, and skilled cybersecurity engineers to help prevent penetration and manipulation of our nation’s cyber-physical infrastructures. We use noninvasive hardware and software reverse engineering techniques to assess physical layer cybersecurity vulnerabilities in embedded systems, specifically IoT devices. We also develop countermeasures to secure them against sensitive data extraction, disruption, diversion, and obfuscation.

We also specialize in System on a Chip (SoC) design which is a single integrated circuit (IC) that combines multiple essential components of a computer or electronic system onto one piece of silicon. We provide innovative (by design) security solutions that offer resiliency against side-channel and fault injection attacks.
