SBIR Phase I: Secure eXtreme Communication : Hybrid Co-Processor Device for IoT Secure Communication

这个小型企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目的更广泛的影响/商业潜力是能够以合理的成本解决几乎没有开销的安全通信问题。 该计划中开发的异步引擎将实现强大的加密和解密，同时提高电源效率，数据吞吐量和安全性。 据SDM称，到2020年，加密和解密技术的市场可能高达385亿美元。 此外，在美国，人们认识到需要对电力和化学/加工厂进行加密和认证，目前严重不足。 初始市场估计为2.7亿美元，可服务的目标市场为27亿美元。 该计划的主要重点将是工业和数据中心行业的异步引擎，市场总额为270亿美元。 此外，这项技术将足够灵活，可以被纳入许多其他行业的加密解密产品中。 这些包括消费品和服务，如移动的通信设备、娱乐和运输（车辆、飞机）。这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目将使用创新方法解决物联网（IoT）系统的网络安全需求：使用混沌函数生成无限长加密和解密密钥的异步引擎。 在过去的几十年里，信息已经成为个人和公司最有价值的资产。 网络攻击不再只针对军事或大型企业;从公民到企业再到政府，每个人都需要安全的通信。 加密方法依赖于使用通用CPU和软件加密和解密消息的数字方案;这意味着IoT设备可能会对信息、系统功能、公司利润和国家安全进行黑客攻击。 我们独特的方法将包括一个离散逻辑程序与可重构混沌振荡器加载到一个现场可编程门阵列（FPGA）。 该混合系统将使用不同的IoT设备和网络配置进行测试。 混合解密引擎的长期目标是建立一个硬件加密设备，以确保对等通信的安全。 创新的解决方案将允许连接的设备比类似复杂性的当前解决方案执行得更快，同时减少或消除开销，并允许一次性密码本加密。

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is the ability to address secure communications with virtually no overhead at reasonable cost. The asynchronous engine developed in this program will enable robust encryption and decryption while offering improvements in power efficiency, data throughput and security. According to SDM, the market for encryption and decryption technology could be as high as $38.5 billion by 2020. Additionally, there is a recognized need for encryption and authentication of power and chemical/process plants in the U.S., currently dangerously underserved. The initial market is estimated to be $270M and the serviceable addressable market is $2.7B. This program's primary focus will be on the asynchronous engine for the industrial and data center industries with a total market of $27B. In addition, the proposed technology will be flexible enough to be incorporated into encryption-decryption products in many other industries. These include consumer goods and services, such as mobile communications devices, entertainment and transportation (vehicles, airplanes).This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will address the need for cyber security for Internet-of-Things (loT) systems using an innovative approach: an asynchronous engine using chaotic functions to generate an infinite length key for encryption and decryption. During the past few decades, information has emerged as the most valuable asset for both individuals and corporations. Cyber-attacks no longer exclusively target military or large enterprises; everyone from private citizens to businesses to governments requires secure communications. The methods of encryption rely on digital schemes to encrypt and decrypt messages using general-purpose CPUs and software; which means that loT devices impend hacking of information, system function, corporate profits, and national security. Our unique approach will include a discrete-logic program with reconfigurable chaotic oscillators loaded into a field programmable gate array (FPGA). This hybrid system will be tested with different loT devices and network configurations. The long-term goal of the hybrid encryption-decryption engine is to build a hardware encryption device to secure peer-to-peer communication. The innovative solution will allow the attached device to execute much faster than current solutions of similar complexity while reducing or eliminating overhead, and allowing one-time pad encryption.
