Secure Circuit Board Materials and Processes

"Systran Federal Corporation (SFC), the sister-company of Systran Corp., which is a Products Development and Marketing Company specializing in high-performance electronic and networking products, is proposing to novel approaches to developing tamperresistant circuit boards. SFC proposes to use a combined "coatings + circuits" approach to provide tamper resistance. Various sol-gel based multiplayer coatings that provide tamper resistance will be developed. In addition, various circuits that providetamper resistance will also be developed. Both will be combined in an "intelligent" manner to provide highly sophisticated approaches to conferring tamper resistance. Both SFC and Systran Corp., have strong expertise in the development of complex high-performance electronic products, and have a good track record of commercializing government-funded research. SFC has a well-defined commercialization plan, which permitsprototypes developed under SBIR programs to be commercialized either through Systran Corp., or any other commercial company. Hence, SFC feels that it can successfully commercialize the "tamper resistant circuit board design solutions" that will bedeveloped in this proposed SB
