Phase I project will be the investigation and specification of the necessary algorithms and platform for detection and mitigation of spoofing attacksand compromised sensing in sensor networks. The solution addresses the three main areas of sensing security: (a) detection and mitigation with corresponding customization; (b) support for collaborative, distributed detection across Ndes; and (c) hardw ...

To address the DHS need for new remote sensor data protection and anti-spoofing techniques, Intellisense Systems, Inc. proposes to develop a new Blockchain-based Anti-Spoofing and Integrity Protection (BASIP) system. This proposed BASIP is based on redactable blockchain-based data protection and challenge-response-based spoof detection. The BASIP will offer high resilience to sensor spoofing and m ...

To address the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) requirements and strategic intent, Karagozian and Case, Inc. (K&C) proposes to develop a SECURITY MITIGATION ASSESMENT OF RISKS AND THREATS (SMART) software application for SOFT TARGETS AND CROWDED PLACES (ST-CP) which leverages advanced Geographical Information Systems (GIS) mapping softwa ...

Check point screening is key to mitigating threats in aviation transport as well as in missions protecting critical infrastructure, high-value cultural institutions, and persons, in a variety of missions from civilian security to law enforcement and corrections to military.These missions are made more challenging by the range of threats presents, from metallic weapons to liquid-based explosives.It ...

To address the DHS's need for a quick and efficient targeted surface interrogation technique to locate and detect trace residues of interest, including explosives and illicit drugs, on carry-on baggage and items, Intellisense Systems, Inc. proposes to develop a new rapid Targeted Surface Interrogation Scanning (TASIS) system, based on ultraviolet Raman spectroscopy and fast data processing/renderi ...

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) proposes to develop a deep learning based spectral target detection algorithm for identification and classification of opioids and explosives that will be executed on a portable hardware solution. The proposed algorithm is designed to be spectrometer agNstic and allows for rapid training on previously untrained spectrometer platforms. The proposed hardware solution is ...

To address the DHS's need for security of multimedia messages from the public to the Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) Emergency Communications Cybersecurity Center (EC3) within NG9-1-1 Emergency Service Internet Protocol Networks (ESINets), Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Hardened Encryption Routing to Mitigate External Susceptibility ...

To address the DHS need for a module that can power/charge and provide effective power management of all on-body electronics including sensors, communications systems, and peripheral devices for all first responder mission areas, Intellisense Systems, Inc. (ISI) proposes to develop a new Power and Rechargeable Battery Interface Smart Module (PRISM). This proposed technology is based on a novel mod ...

The increasing number of breaches and hacks against organizations demands new and more effective ways to provide defense. Currently, most defense activities, such as monitoring, analysis, forensics, and remediation are done within house. This is unfortunate because the external knowledge and experience of others outside the organization cannot easily be leveraged. Our proposal focuses on the desig ...

The integration of new cyber technologies in emergency response systems can allow profound improvements in system performance, but also expose the systems to systemic security and privacy risks.Thus, there is a critical need for design-time risk-assessment tools for emergency response systems, which allow evaluation and mitigation of threat impacts across their heterogeneous cyber and physical com ...
