White Paper | July 2023
The NDIA Electronics Division submitted the white paper on the Assured and Preferred Supply of Microelectronics through Provenance, Traceability, and Market Preferences in July of 2023.
This white paper explores the need to develop a preference for assured and traceable microelectronics with initial emphasis on national and economic security, defense, and critical infrastructure. Support of assured and traceable microelectronics by manufacturers will ensure that reliable and secure products are available for supply to Customers in the United States and allied nations. The white paper also explores guaranteed access to trusted assured microelectronics by increasing design and manufacturing in the US and allied nations, as well as by establishing market preferences for assured supply, and actions which are critical for achieving national security and economic growth objectives set forth by congress including through recent Chips and Science Act legislation.

Zero Trust for Hardware Supply Chains: Challenges in Application of Zero Trust Principles to Hardware
White Paper | October 2021
A discussion by the Electronics Division of Zero Trust and Quantifiable Assurance concepts as related to microelectronics to promote broader dialog on the complexities facing the Defense Industrial Base regarding these controversial topics. This white paper facilitates a broader understanding of Zero Trust and the challenges for application to hardware and supply chain assurance. Its purpose is to facilitate a high-level understanding of zero trust principles, to foster necessary dialog for understanding what it will take to apply these principles to the microelectronics domain, including the need to demonstrate and prove techniques, prior to implementing specific guidance in acquisition policy.
Micron Real World Case Study
How to On-Shore Critical Semiconductor Production, Secure the Supply Chain, and Provide Access for the Industrial Base
White Paper | February 2021
This White Paper addresses US Government and Semiconductor Industry shared interest to establish a robust, on-shore, supply chain. Findings include increased flexibility in acquisition and commercialization of Government and Industry critical technologies and a recommendation for rapid update of policies, along with closely coordinated actions, to counter global realities and mitigate and reverse off-shoring trends. Holistic demand signals and improved industry standards are necessary to optimize the domestic ecosystem. This paper is is for the purpose of stimulating constructive dialog does not represent an official position of member companies or NDIA.
