  • Publication number: 20200365038
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20200365065
    Abstract: A sign assembly such as an exit sign can be mounted on either a wall or a ceiling of a structure. The sign assembly includes a housing with a frame that supports a square lens. The frame has one wall section that is removable to enable the lens to be removed and reinserted in a different orientation relative to the frame. As a result, the lens can be oriented properly when the sign housing is turned to be mounted on either the wall or the ceiling. The lens is free of electrical contacts and electrical terminals.

  • Patent number: 10791091
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10749890
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of systems, methods, and products comprise an analytic server, which provides a SilverlineRT system that prioritizes and analyzes security alerts and events. The server builds an attack tree based on attack detection rules. The server monitors large-scale distributed systems and receives alerts from various devices. The server determines attacks using the attack tree while excluding false alarms. The server determines impact and risk metrics for attacks in real-time, and calculates an impact score for each attack. The server ranks and prioritizes the attacks based on the impact scores. The server also generates real-time reports. By consider the mission and system specific context in the analysis alert information, the server gives insight into the overall context of problems and potential solutions, improving decision-making. By showing the impacts of alters, the server allows security personnel to prioritize responses and focus on highest value defense activities.

  • Patent number: 10742674
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10733341
    Abstract: An illustrative system may comprise a plurality of distributed network nodes hosting a two-dimensional distributed digital ledger. The distributed digital ledger may have a plurality of chains of digital blocks in the two-dimensions, wherein each chain may be associated with a particular functionality (e.g., a first set of integrated circuit processes) and a corresponding level of security. For example, a first chain in the first direction may contain digital blocks containing code differentials of the hardware description language code forming the integrated circuit design. A second chain in a second direction may contain digital blocks containing simulation data records generated during the simulation of the integrated circuit design. The first chain and the second chain may be based upon different cryptographic protocols and therefore may be cryptographically separate from each other.
