Packet Obfuscator
Eavesdroppers can exploit exposed packet headers towards attacks that profile clients and their data flows. Forward Edge-AI developed a packet obfuscation feature within Isidore Quantum for effective full and partial header blinding to thwart eavesdroppers. Isidore Quantum effectively masks header bits in plain site as they traverse physical (PHY) layer sub-systems that perform functions like scrambling and interleaving. The Isidore Quantum obfuscator incurs a very small throughput hit of ≈1%.
The Technical Objectives of this D2P2 SBIR is to 1) deliver twenty Isidore devices within two months after award, 2) demonstrate a minimum 90% reduction in cost and SWaP versus traditional high-assurance cryptographic products, 3) demonstrate effectiveness against both quantum and classical cybersecurity attacks, and 5) submit Isidore for CSfC certification and Type 1 approval.
Geo-location Obfuscator
Forward Edge-AI is also developing an Radio Frequency (RF) deception capability by leveraging an adaptive beam steering system.
