Promia will integrate the technology described in U.S. Patent #8,566,269 (Interactive Analysis of Attack Graphs (IAAG) Using Relational Queries) into the Promia Raven Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and security operations appliance. Promia intends to use the asset information that it already collects – both passively and actively – about nodes on the networks it monitors and ...

This Automated Access Control Policy Testing System (A-ACPTS) project extends and transitions NIST’s Access Control Policy Tool (ACPT) toward commercialization. The core challenge is to research and develop an ACPT-based tool and a method of automating as many of the inputs into the model checking as possible, with the goal of making the testing more usable, less error-prone, and more efficient ...

Antara Teknik will develop and commercialize a comprehensive line of low-cost, high performance Software Defined Network Solutions in order to accelerate the deployment and adoption of Border Gateway Protocol with Security (BGPSEC). The innovative taraEosTM Open Architecture BGPSEC compliant edge-router and crypto offload devices featuring the NIST SRx will improve the safety of the Internet criti ...

High-efficiency detectors capable of single photon detection are one of the key technologies required for adoption of QKD technology. These detection systems need to be made more robust, to be offered at lower cost, and to move out of the laboratory to provide ubiquitous commercial access. Freedom Photonics will develop a highly integrated and compact single photon avalanche photodetector with ...

To address the DMEAs need for an efficient single-photon detector for quantum cryptography communications, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Integrated Quantum Cryptography Receiver (IQCR), based on a chip-integrated, complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible design. The proposed single-photon detector is based on a novel, more efficient design of a silico ...

methyst Research Inc. will design, fabricate and test a high uniformity, large area, low noise infrared trap-detector detector for the 1- 4.5 μm wavelength range. This state of the art detector will have a large area (e.g., 1-1.8 cm diameter active area) with a spatial variability of internal quantum efficiency of less than 0.1 % between 1 μm and 4.5 μm. In addition, the internal quantum effici ...

Nodexus is commercializing next-generation bioinstrumentation for researchers, clinicians, and the biotech industry at large. As development challenge involves a material switch to polymer-based microfluidics to improve robustness and reproducibility of measurements. Nodexus will develop new manufacturing processes for their microfluidic product suite that preserves surface functionalization while ...

AET will perform R&D to develop a quantum cryptographic single photon counting system (or detector) consisting of a high performance integrated circuit chip and detector (such as an avalanche photodiode) for use in a secure fiber optic communications link. Quantum cryptography applies an encryption scheme that uses a series of single, polarized photons that act as the key between the sender an ...

This program develops a single photon detector system for quantum cryptography over links up to 200 km. The innovation is the integration of circuitry, dual-mode detectors for increased data rates, and a highly sensitive detector on a transparent substrate. The approach including means for coupling the polarization and/or phase encrypted single-photon signals.

Seacoast Science has licensed, for the purpose of technology transfer, the NIST patent “Recirculating Temperature Wave Focusing Chromatography,” with the goal of implementing the technology into a unique environmental monitor. Seacoast believes the NIST technology can improve Seacoast’s environmental monitor, allowing for an order of magnitude cost reduction for long-term monitoring at remed ...
