To address the OSDs need for a network defense technology based upon dynamic adaptation of a network or an intruders perception of it, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes a new Fast Network Information Scrambling Technology (FIST). FIST is based on an innovative low-complexity network information scrambler algorithm implemented on low-cost small-scale commercial off-the-shelf hardware compo ...

To meet Department of Defense needs for a cyber deception capability, Grier Forensics proposes building a cyber deception system based on our AVENGE Avatar Engine.Using AVENGE, commanders will be able to provide false information that will confuse, delay, and impede attackers, with only minimal impact to legitimate users and friendly forces.AVENGE will be developed to provide multidimensional dece ...

Moving target defense (MTD) is a cyber defense strategy in which a set of system configurations are dynamically changed to increase uncertainty and complexity for adversaries that try to discover and exploit vulnerabilities. While MTD is considered as a potential game changer in cyber defense, existing MTD solutions for military networks (and enterprise networks) are not sufficient in thwarting ad ...

Metronome Software develops a Domain Encryption (DomCrypt) system for securing Android-based Commercial Off The Shield (COTS) mobile devices. DomCrypt software suite, through its creation of separate DomCrypt-encrypted domains, provides the warfighters the means for accessing and dynamically sharing data in a variety of formats using COTS mobile devices. Metronome also employs a strong-security fo ...

This proposed innovative approach, called Container Hopping At Random Intervals Or Targeted-attacks (CHARIOT), provides a dynamic moving target to keep our adversaries off guard with minor impact on the systems overall performance while providing a reduced attack-surface. CHARIOT will provide a novel capabilities to confuse and mislead potential attackers, thus reducing their chance of successful ...

Accuwave Corporation will study the feasibility of a volume holographic, phase-encoded optical image correlator for credit card and document validation and security application. Fourier transform holograms of a phase-encoded input image are stored using wavelength multiplexed holographic gratings in a photorefractive crystal. High spatial resolution images can be sotred with low crosstalk using ...

In this proposed SBIR program, Accuwave will investigate and demonstrate architectures for compact hologrpahic storage using materials and system innovations to reduce complexity and improve performance. Crosstalk, data formatting, input/output interfaces, and other relevant parameters will be characterized. Both wavelength and angle multiplexing, as well as its combination, will be used to prov ...

AcuSoft proposes to develop a set of HLA Development Tools to assist simulation software developers in their efforts to implement the HLA. The HLA Development Tools will support the Federation Execution and Development Process (FEDEP) and present an approach to solving the problems associated with the HLA's flexible FOM data definitions. A set of data visualization tools, such as a 2D Plan View ...

AcuSoft proposes to research and develop a Synthetic Environment RTI (SE-RTI). The SEDRIS initiative has established a new programming paradigm that provides lossless transmission of synthetic environment objects. The HLA has been designed to support interoperability and reuse of DoD simulations, and SEDRIS is a major component of HLA. Currently, the SEDRIS data model, APIs and format are prima ...

AcuSoft proposes to research and develop a database conversion tool based on the Synthetic Environment Data Representation and Interchange Specification (SEDRIS) to maximize the reusability and interchangeability of existing and future USSOCOM database. In the proposed PHASE I effort, we will investigate SEDRIS technology and develop a functioning prototype tools to demonstrate the ability to imp ...
