The Office of
Secretary of Defense
(OSD) issued the
Defense Trusted
Integrated Circuits
Strategy (DTICS)
that established
"Trust" as a minimum
need for DoD in
October 2003.
Interim Guidance
from the Office of
Under Secretary of
Defense for
Acquisition,
Technology and
Logistics
(OUSD/AT&L, dated 27
January 2004)
initiated
development of
policy that requires
all Mission
Assurance Category I
systems (DoDI
8500.2) to "employ
only trusted foundry
service(s) to
fabricate their
custom designed
ICs". As a result,
the new vendor
criteria issued to
DoD Program Managers
has increased the
need for trusted
parts and the
subsequent expansion
of the Trusted
Foundry Program. The
OUSD/AT&L, through
TAPO and DMEA, has
implemented an
accreditation plan
for design,
aggregator/broker,
mask and wafer
fabrication,
packaging and test
services across a
broad technology
range for
specialized
governmental
applications both
classified and
unclassified. The
Defense
MicroElectronics
Activity (DMEA) has
been designated by
the Department of
Defense through the
Trusted Access
Program Office
(TAPO) as the
accrediting
authority for this
program.
