TRIDENT SYSTEMS LLC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: N04-054

Description

Under the N04-054 Phase I effort, Trident investigated and developed a proof of concept prototype to enable secure cross domain simulation using High Level Architecture (HLA) Run Time Infrastructure (RTI) protocol. In order to support cross domain simulations, the SG had to meet several key requirements, including real-time communications, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) for session establishment, and support TLS/SSL for encryption of data in transit. Many of these same features can be leveraged for similar real-time communications, such as desktop video teleconferencing (dVTC).The DoD has an urgent requirement for a secure high definition dVTC that is seamless, interoperable, efficient and responsive to joint andcoalition Warfighter requirements. Currently there are no certified cross domain dVTC capabilities available.Trident Systems proposes to develop an enhanced capability based on the N04-054 Phase I results and our DoD certified cross-domain collaboration technology, Voice and Video Cross Domain Solution (V2CDS). The innovation to be exploited is Tridents proven Assured Pipeline filtering technology to mitigate covert channels in cross-domain VTC communications.With the Assured Pipeline, which uses SIP and Real Time Protocol (RTP) message traffic, Trident will develop the V2CDS dVTC system to provide content filtering of real-time video teleconferencing between security domains.
