Research abstract

To deliver data and data analytics to Soldiers, Army G6 must quickly synthesize and integrate a vast array of sensor data that must inventoried, distributed, stored, and processed for analysis. Beskar is the ideal partner for the Army in delivering this solution now. Beskar delivers solutions to businesses so they can securely connect physical products with their digital counterparts, protect their intellectual property anywhere in cyberspace, and simplify collaboration and remote access across platforms. For the Army requirement of Ensuring Sensor Data Security and Integrity, Beskar partnered with Summit Knowledge Solutions, LLC. (SKS), the leader in ontology-driven knowledge graphs for the Intelligence Community. This partnership allows us to customize our existing patented fast-consensus distributed ledger technology to deliver an innovative encrypted distributed ledger storage solution that is integrated with ontology-driven knowledge graphs. Replicated file systems have been used in the past and a traditional blockchain distributed ledger has been tested as a potential solution. From our own research and testing, we know these are inferior solutions to the Army G6's problem. Our DAG/XMSS solution overcomes the Sybil attack vulnerability of traditional DAGs to offer all the advantages of security and immutability that blockchain allows, with exceptionally fast processing time and exceptionally low energy and processor requirements. We proved this through over a year of testing and now are proving it every day by providing CUI information to DIB customers. The Beskar solution also allows the Army to benefit from a solution delivered ahead of schedule and under budget.
