Publication number: 20200365038Abstract: A computer-implemented method for securing unmanned aerial system (UAS) operations includes receiving a UAS flight plan for a UAS and a UAS operation, the UAS flight plan including a flight profile and flight path for the UAS; determining a mission type for the UAS operation requires use of dummy aircraft information; and assigning a dummy UAS identification for the UAS. Generating dummy airframe information, including dummy airframe characteristics and performance data, for the UAS, includes generating dummy airframe information that corresponds to airframe information for an actual civil aircraft that could follow the received UAS flight plan. The method further includes causing the UAS to broadcast the dummy UAS identification and the dummy airframe information with an automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast signal during at least a portion of the UAS operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2020Publication date: November 19, 2020Applicant: Architecture Technology CorporationInventors: Evan Eaves, William Colligan

Patent number: 10791091Abstract: Disclosed is a high assurance unified switching device corresponding to a modular, standards-compliant extensible network switch supporting multiple security domains with data isolation of multiple data packets obtained from the multiple security domains. The device may comprise an inner layer router and an outer layer security wrapper (outer layer router). The ports on the outer layer router are configured for different security domains and assigned corresponding key pairs. The ports use the assigned key pairs for encrypting data packets prior to routing and decrypt the data after routing such that there is an isolation of data packets of different security domains. A routed packet arriving at the wrong port cannot be decrypted and therefore is dropped.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2018Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: Architecture Technology CorporationInventors: Clint Sanders, Ranga S.

Patent number: 10742674Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of systems, methods, and products comprise a computing device, which allows in-network and network-border protection for Internet of things (IoT) devices by securely partitioning network space and defining service-based access to IoT devices. The disclosed segmented attack prevention system for IoT networks (SAPSIN) segments the IoT network into two virtual networks: a service network and a control network; and define access control rules for each virtual network. In the service network, SAPSIN utilizes a service-based approach to control device access, allowing only configured protocol, applications, network ports, or address groups to enter or exit the network. In control network, The SAPSIN provides the access control rules by defining a threshold for the number of configuration requests within a predetermined time. As a result, SAPSIN protects IoT devices against intrusion and misuse, without the need for device-specific software or device-specific security hardening.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2018Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: Architecture Technology CorporationInventors: Ian McLinden, Timothy Hartley
