2024 MITRE Engenuity eCTF Team Registration

This form is to register your intent to field a team for the 2024 MITRE Engenuity Embedded Capture the Flag™ (eCTF) competition. You do not need to know the lineup of students who will compete; an individual competitor registration form will be released in December.

This form is only meant to be filled out by Team Advisors (a teacher/faculty member), which each team must have.

eCTF is an embedded security competition that puts participants through the experience of trying to create a secure system and then learning from their mistakes. The main target is a real physical embedded device, which opens the scope of the challenge to include physical/proximal access attacks. eCTF is a two-phase competition with attack and defense components. In the first phase, competitors design and implement a secure system based on a set of challenge requirements. The second phase involves analyzing and attacking the other teams’ designs.

During the 2024 competition, teams will design and implement a supply chain security solution for microcontrollers on a medical device. The system must securely verify the device integrity while keeping sensitive data confidential.

For any specific questions or to join our mailing list, please email ectf@mitre-engenuity.org.
