These articles sound like DARPA would consider changes at the foundation. I think that any such projects must do red-team-blue-team analysis at the architectural level. This is to save the time, effort and money of a large project that has flaws obvious to parties of the other specialization.

It has always been the case that hardware is becoming vulnerable in its complexity.
