ROWND INC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: AF211-CSO1

Description

Emails are one of the most critical forms of communication it the military, yet email addresses are unprotected.  Each email address has PII embedded in it (first name, last name, air force affiliation) and creates vectors for phishing attacks.  Furthermore, many apps and websites use email as username, making data breaches very valuable for hackers and foreign adversaries.   The Air Force and DoD need to develop a strategy to focus on critical PII and in particular email and phone numbers.  MyData has a email proxy service (demailed.io) that fully obscures email addresses between end-users and apps/3rd parties.  A user simply enters their real email address and MyData issues a temporary use email, (12345@demailed.io) to be used instead of the real email.  The user still receives emails but can revoke access at any time.  If there is a data breach or leak, all the hacker gets is a fake email address that can be revoked.  This same technology can be modified and augmented for Air Force and government use.  This proposal examines the feasibility of modifying and augmenting the existing state-of-the-art technology to work on Air Force systems, DoD infrastructure, and link to Air Force applications.
