The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is seeking technologies to enable safe and anonymous access to the Internet by the military.
In particular, DARPA is interested in technologies that “allow anonymous Internet communications to bypass techniques that suppress, localize and/or corrupt information.”
The technologies the Defense Department is interested in circumventing include IP-address filtering or "blocking," which can deny user access; Domain Naming Service hijacking, which redirects a user to a different Web site or service from what the user intended; and content filtering, which captures and analyzes the content of the user's network traffic through deep packet inspection.
The Safer Warfighter Communications (SAFER) program (DARPA-BAA-10-69) covers applications such as instant messaging, electronic mail, social networking, streaming video, voice over IP and video conferencing. DARPA’s particular technical areas of interest include measurement, circumvention and testbed and evaluation support.
