Arkham Technology Limited — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: N212-110

Description

Arkham Technology has existing prototype Key Management Infrastructure (KMI) aware and Product Delivery Enclave (PDE) enabled Type-1 cryptographic module that is ready to serve as a point-of-departure platform for the Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T) cryptographic module. Our innovative KMI/IoT Processor (KIP) product, has high performance ARM processors, which provide adequate processing power to host additional cross domain guard firmware, as well as additional Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) firmware, in a trusted processing environment. Our KIP is a tiny System on Chip (SoC) that provides a silicon Root-of-Trust (RoT) to encrypt and authenticate connected sensors and actuators, turning them into IoBT edge devices. The KIP provides high-assurance Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption and authentication using National Security Agency (NSA) evaluated cryptologic from our mature Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 9 cryptographic Intellectual Property (IP) products. This TLS engine is then used for hyper-scalable network security protocols. We will leverage our subject matter expertise in high assurance design and certification support to ensure the MUM-T cryptographic module successfully achieves NSA cryptographic certification and National Cross Domain Strategy and Management Office (NCDSMO) Authorization to Operate (ATO).
