Morpheus Processor
In 2017, the defense agency DARPA sponsored the University of Michigan for $3.6 million to work on the "Morpheus"computer processor project. Three years later, it was ready and large-scale tests began with the involvement of accredited hackers and information security specialists. Of the 525 participants, none managed to crack the chip because it changed its architecture every 0.1 seconds.
It is impossible to create software without vulnerabilities, the only question is how much time and labor attackers will spend on their search and hacking. This largely depends on the architecture and protocols of the hardware and processor, knowledge of which makes it easier to prepare an attack. The idea of the Morpheus project is to create a platform that changes its structure faster than a hacker can figure it out. The concept turned out to be fully functional, none of the experienced specialists were able to find an approach to this form of protection. The downside was a 10% slowdown in the processor compared to its counterparts, but DARPA believes that this is an acceptable price for reliability and security. The further development of the project will be the adaptation of its technologies for cloud storage.
