Description

The proposed effort will develop and mature our Last-inch Load Device (LLD) product for Air Force Key Management Infrastructure (KMI) interoperability and automation. This is a very small device for loading cryptographic keys and certificates into End Cryptographic Devices (ECUs). Unlike traditional key loaders, such as the AN/PYQ-10 SKL, the graphical user interface is in a multi-function separate device like a cyber-hardened smartphones which are already in the Warfighter’s inventory. The LLD is based on our embedded KMI/IoT Processor (KIP). The KIP is a Type 1 Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryptor, which was demonstrated in previous SBIR contracts performing DS-101, KMI Over the Network Keying (OTNK), authenticated SNMP TLSTM CCMIB management, and MQTT TLS encrypted IoT web services.
