About this award
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded a $1.52 million firm fixed-price contract to Cybernetica AS on April 1, 2020, for research under the Securing Information for Encrypted Verification and Evaluation (SIEVE) program. The contract, with an ultimate completion date of October 1, 2024, supports innovative research in zero-knowledge proofs—cryptographic techniques that allow verification of information without revealing the underlying data. This research directly supports Department of Defense applications requiring secure information verification, addressing three technical areas: encoding problems, proof generation compilers, and post-quantum proofs. The contract was awarded without a set-aside designation following DARPA's broad agency announcement solicitation, which closed on September 20, 2019.
Cybernetica AS, based in Estonia, will conduct this three-phase research initiative as part of DARPA's broader SIEVE effort, which anticipated multiple awards across the identified technical areas. The work aligns with DARPA's mission to advance cutting-edge cryptographic capabilities for national defense, with zero-knowledge proof technology offering significant applications for secure communications and verification systems in defense operations. The contract represents one of multiple anticipated awards from the SIEVE program, which structured research across consecutive phases of 18, 18, and 12 months to develop mature capabilities in post-quantum and advanced cryptographic proofs.
