Description: This SBIR Direct to Phase II Research/Research and Development (R/R&D) project aims to produce a Technology Readiness Level 8 (TRL-8), low Size, Weight, and Power-Cost (SWaP-C) quantum-resistant encryption device and achieve National Security Agency (NSA) Type 1 certification. The new encryption device is based on Isidore Quantum® and will enable point-to-multipoint encryption and facilitate cross-domain operations, ensuring that classified military networks can operate securely
alongside unclassified commercial networks.
Isidore Quantum® will ensure robust protection against cyber threats while maintaining high network performance and efficiency. The autonomous key management and zero-trust architecture inherent in Isidore reduces vulnerabilities and streamline security operations, making it an ideal solution for the demanding requirements of modern space communication networks, which require both high security and operational efficiency.
The anticipated results of the D2P2 R/R&D project is a TRL-8 space encryptor.

Description: Develop a blockchain/DLT to ensure the provenance, integrity and quality of space-based Machine Learning algorithms and associated training data (counter adversarial Artificial Intelligence).
The CASI-D project focuses on the development of a Blockchain solution to manage the governance and provenance of ML/AI algorithms and associated training data for CubeSats and other space infrastructure. Phase I addresses the growing concerns around adversarial AI. At the core of the CASI-D project is the development of an advanced a Blockchain to support its governance framework, including automated auditing, risk assessment, and compliance monitoring. By integrating these technologies, the project enhances the ability to detect and address potential issues in real-time, ensuring the security of ML/AI models developed for on-orbit systems.
The CASI-D project complements the Space COMSEC project by establishing robust AI governance frameworks ensure the lineage and provenance of Isidore Quantum’s ML models and training data. Together, Isidore Quantum® and CASI-D creates a secure, transparent, and sound environment for space communications, balancing technological innovation with governance.
