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

小型企业创新研究(SBIR)第一阶段项目的更广泛影响/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。在该计划中开发的异步引擎将实现强大的加密和解密，同时在功率效率、数据吞吐量和安全性方面提供改进。据SDM称，到2020年，加密和解密技术的市场规模可能高达385亿美元。此外，人们认识到有必要对美国的电力和化工/加工厂进行加密和认证，目前这些工厂的服务不足，这是危险的。初始市场估计为2.7亿美元，可服务市场为27亿美元。该计划的主要重点将是面向总市场规模为270亿美元的工业和数据中心行业的异步引擎。此外，拟议中的技术将足够灵活，可以纳入许多其他行业的加解密产品中。其中包括消费品和服务，如移动通信设备、娱乐和交通(车辆、飞机)。这个小型企业创新研究(SBIR)第一阶段项目将使用一种创新的方法来解决物联网(LOT)系统的网络安全需求：使用混沌函数生成无限长的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；从普通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和软件对消息进行加密和解密的数字方案；这意味着许多设备都面临着信息、系统功能、公司利润和国家安全的黑客攻击。我们独特的方法将包括一个离散逻辑程序，将可重新配置的混沌振荡器加载到现场可编程门阵列(FPGA)中。这种混合系统将在不同的LOT设备和网络配置下进行测试。混合加密-解密引擎的长期目标是构建一个硬件加密设备，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当前类似复杂性的解决方案执行速度快得多，同时减少或消除开销，并允许一次性PAD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.
