Digital Security by Design
Technology enabled business-led
demonstrators competition
Phase 1 – Expression of interest
Competition Scope
Applicant briefing: 17th March 2020

2. ISCF Digital Security by Design

3. Competition Preamble
Objective:
To develop a demonstrator of a product and/or service in which:
• an additional technology ‘ingredient’ is required
• capability enabled hardware will be used to provide a more secure solution
up to £5.8 million to collaborate on a digital security by design demonstrator project
Definitions:
• ‘Capability enabled hardware’ includes security features or safeguards that are built in
the processor architecture and hardware system so that it becomes more secure in the
face of a range of security vulnerabilities
• A technology ‘ingredient’ is something complementary which adds value to the
demonstration of the technology platform prototype in order to make use of or further
develop its capability hardware extensions

4. Competition Scope (1 of 2)
Your proposal MUST:
• use the technology platform prototype and specify the quantity of prototype hardware
boards that are needed in the demonstrator
• extend the use of the technology platform prototype to a specific industry sector by
developing and integrating an additional technology ‘ingredient’ or ingredients
‘Technology platform prototype’: the hardware platform equipped with security capabilities
that is being developed by the ARM-led consortium as part of the DSbD programme – this is
known as the ‘Morello Board’
up to £5.8 million to collaborate on a digital security by design demonstrator project

5. Competition Scope (2 of 2)
Your application MUST describe:
• the use case(s) and why and how it will benefit from the proposed demonstrator
• why the demonstrator requires an additional technology ingredient(s)
• how you will justify the social and economic benefits realised by the demonstrator
• how you will assess potential productivity increase through the use of the demonstrator
• how you expect the results of the demonstrator to affect future products or services
• how the consortium will engage with the DSbD’s Social Science Hub+ activities, including
a bi-annual event
up to £5.8 million to collaborate on a digital security by design demonstrator project

6. DSbD programme-level impact
up to £5.8 million to collaborate on a digital security by design demonstrator project
From a programme perspective, the competition aims to:
• widen the pool of technology and research providers in order to expand the impact of
capability enabled hardware
• develop a market demonstrator showcasing the new security capability in a vertical
industry segment or in applications that may cut across several vertical industry segments
• enable innovators developing secure products or services to work alongside early
technology providers
• increase the breadth of use-cases to drive future DSbD demonstrators and ultimately
increase pathways to market adoption and to economic impact

7. Consortium aspects
The lead organisation MUST show one of the following:
• that they operate in an industry sector requiring secure products or services
• evidence of a credible and recognisable influence that they have on the target
market or markets
• that they can lead on a new market or sector
The project team must consist of at least 3 partners, including the lead organisation
A typical consortium may be constructed around 3 areas:
• one or more partners responsible for the new technology ‘ingredient’
• one or more partners responsible for the new product or service
• the partner responsible for the adoption or use of the product or service

8. EoI Application Questions

9. Question 1: Project outline
Describe or explain:
• the use case or use cases
• why and how it will benefit from the proposed demonstrator
• why the demonstrator requires an additional technology ingredient(s)
• how you will justify the social and economic benefits realised by the demonstrator
• how you will assess potential productivity increase through the use of the demonstrator
• how you expect the results of the demonstrator to affect future products or services
• how the consortium will engage with the DSbD’s Social Science Hub+ activities, including
a bi-annual event
What is the need for your proposed demonstrator and how you will assess your demonstrator?

10. Question 2: Project team
Describe or explain:
the profile, responsibilities, skills and experience of all members of the project team pertinent
to the competition’s scope and the application’s objectives.
Appendix
You can submit one appendix describing the skills and experience of the main people
working on the project to support your answer.
Who is in the project team and what are their responsibilities?

11. Question 3: Project resources
Describe or explain:
• a high-level breakdown and partner allocation for the required resources and costs
• size of your project, the total eligible costs and the anticipated grant request
• justify your use of the technology platform prototype for the development of the
demonstrator, including the required quantity of prototype hardware boards as part of
your integration plan for the identified use case or use cases
Appendix – Letter of support from non-grant requesting organisations
Each must submit a letter of support indicating their commitment to the project. It must:
• be on headed paper
• state the supported project activities and their associated value
• be dated and signed by an authorised representative of the organisation
What is the size of your project, the total eligible costs and the anticipated grant request?
How will you use the technology platform prototype?

12. Mind the scope!
We are NOT funding:
• projects that do not construct a physical demonstrator
using the technology platform prototype
• technology ingredients that are not demonstrated in the
context of capability enabled hardware as specified in
the DSbD challenge
• projects that do not demonstrate the need for more
secure products or services
