First generation ICAM systems are long overdue for improvements because identity federation and managing access based upon ICAM guidelines during emergencies is still non-existent. Existing ICAM solutions are closed, place onerous restrictions on the trust mechanism, do not account for mobile environments and are static in nature. The innovation proposed will, for the first time, provide the abili ...

SecureLogix is a current performer on the PARIDINE project and is focused on defining and detecting NIDEs such as Telephony Denial of Service (TDoS) and other call pattern-based attacks against 9-1-1 networks. Our approach is to enhance our cloud-based Call Authentication Service (CAS), extending its inherent authentication and spoofing detection capabilities, with the ability to use machine learn ...

As blockchain technologies continue to evolve and emerge, DHS and numerous other Federal agencies have an increasing need to trace new cryptocurrencies and cryptotokens to support investigations and enforcement actions. Some new cryptocurrencies, such as Zcash and Monero, are designed to provide anonymity to users and thus pose challenges to enforcement agencies looking to track and curtail illici ...

DHS CISA NRMC identified a problem relating to application of big data and advanced-research models. Specifically, the Advanced Circulation surge model is too computationally intensive, rendering ensemble forecasts too slow for usefulness. The ATS solution will resolve this challenge of intense, highly parallel computational workloads with big datasets, will allow the higher resolution ADCIRC ense ...

Problem: Currently available resuscitation fluids have been shown to induce detrimental effects on trauma outcomes. Objective: The objective of this proposal is to use the data from the successful Phase 1 studies to guide the continued development and te

To address the supply chain threats that stem from vulnerable or malicious software distributed through firmware on mobile and IoT devices via binary firmware images, we propose a scalable, comprehensive, and automated framework to detect firmware-borne threats, both malicious and (un)intentionally insecure, present in Android and iOS devices. We use a workflow encompassing three analysis techniqu ...

The Global Positioning System (GPS) and other global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) are the critical providers of position, navigation, and time (PNT) information to an almost uncountable number of users and applications. Widespread dependence on GPS has led to awareness that GPS data availability is a single point of failure for many systems and applications. In addition, GPS signals are ver ...

In Phase I, Catalyst proved the feasibility of an Interworking solution for LTE Mission Critical Push-to-Talk (MCPTT) and Land Mobile Radio (LMR) systems that meets the requirements of Public Safety as documented in the National Public Safety Telecommunications Council Public Safety LMR Interoperability with LTE Mission Critical Push to Talk report. In Phase II, we will combine innovations created ...

Tiger Tech Solutions, Inc. has developed a unique professional quality biomedical wearable monitoring system. The consumer-oriented devices available on the market today are not suitable for the needs of the warfighter. The Tiger Tech Warfighter Monitor (

Service members are exposed to high noise environments on a daily basis. Aviation, mechanized, light and armored units are all exposed to environments well in excess of the permissible noise levels. In aviation alone, flight crews spend a majority of thei
