We have identified a multi-component glove/mitt system that will be suitable for the requirements of SOF personnel. This system, as described in our Phase I report, consists of the CCL, the IWDG, the NGG, the FRP, and the TFM. Based on user feedback weintend to suplement this offering with an Advanced Warm Dry Glove (AWDG), and an Extremely Warm Dry Glove in two variants, a Marine Transit versio ...

Determine the feasibility of developing a system that can reliably and efficiently correlate and merge the results of open-source and commercial automated static and dynamic security scanning technologies, by creating common data structure standards for both automated static and dynamic security scanning results; research and prototype methods of matching the results of automated static and dynami ...

Secure trusted biometric validation of identity has never been more important. The increase in global terrorism, unfettered identity theft and new legislation requiring multi-factor authentication are a few of the driving factors. The biometrics industry has not actively responded to the changing market conditions being driven by the explosion in mobile computing. Millions of new mobile devices ar ...

Sensitive and expensive electronic equipment used in marine environments are generally subjected to harsh extremes. Component lifetimes are typically extended by physical isolation using bags, hard containers or with conformal impermeable coatings. However, over time, protective measures become compromised, the resulting exposure causing corrosion and short circuit-driven malfunctions. There is ...

Crossfield Technology LLC proposes the design and development of an Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) System on Chip (SoC) consisting of a hybrid CPU/GPU digital signal processor. The APU incorporates high-speed interfaces to external sensors and a NAND Flash Controller. The NAND Flash Controller implements XTS-AES-256 encryption commonly used for whole disk encryption, and can securely erase the ...

Beginning with the release of the iPhone in 2007 and continuing with the increasing popularity of tablet computers, there has been an ever increasing desire to connect "unsecure" mobile devices to secure enterprise networks. Although several pieces of technology exist to meet this need, these devices lack a firm foundation upon which to build trust and security. This paper proposes development o ...

To meet the critical security needs of the Department of Homeland Security and others, we propose two methods for providing a secure root of trust for mobile devices. One method is designed to integrate as easily into existing systems, while the other requires deeper integration but provides correspondingly stronger security. The keys to our work are practicality and integration: practicality to e ...
