Cloud Based Secure Handhelds for Missions requiring Mobility

ABSTRACT: Metronome Software designs and develops Metronomes Enterprise CLOud-Access LocK (eCLOAK) system. sCLOAK provides a comprehensive set of proven attestation methodologies, attesting the Remote Assets from the lowest network layer, through the Operating System (OS, Kernel) layer, and through the Application layer. These methodologies include: attesting Remote Assets at the network layer via Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) methods in Data-In-Transit (DIT); attesting Remote Assets Health via beyond-PKI Challenge-Response Authentication; attesting the OS layer via profiling; and attesting the Application layer via Software-Based Attestation (SBA). Ultimately, eCLOAK provides the ability to ensure that only trustworthy processes are running on a mobile endpoint. BENEFIT: Through Metronome Softwares eCLOAK, the Government will have the capability for secure attestation to remote assets regardless of which compartment on the mobile device initiates or receives the connection request. These attestations provide assurance that the underlying system maintains its trusted state. Metronome envisions the productizaton of eCLOAK in the Government's Cross-Domain System (CDS). The success of eCLOAK proven with its operations in these programs will become the springboard for wider deployments.
