Solve the Problem, Not the Symptom. 

The U.S. cannot afford to be reactive with national security. Traditional system security approaches do not scale, deter, or defended against motivated and sophisticated adversaries from undermining our military weapons systems. Proactive solutions to embedded security resolve the root of the vulnerability. The root of problem resides in flaws latent in processor, operating system, and software design. 

Idaho Scientific designs and deploys secure system solutions through novel CPU design, crypto cores, purpose-built system-on-a-chip architectures and hardened operating systems. Our solutions are the foundation for how military systems will remain safe and secure in the conflicts of the future. We need smart people like you to join us in solving hard problems that matter.
