Machine Access Security for Cross Domain Kill Web (MASCK)

Corsha will conduct a feasibility study for adapting the company’s existing ZT Platform for Machines to meet SCO mission needs in the Cyber and Cross Domain Kill Chain focus areas. The study will determine the feasibility and implement a prototype to show the ability to synchronize machine identities across domains. Technical objectives for the 4-month Phase I will include: Working with SCO stakeholders to determine how Corsha’s Platform can integrated into a Cross Domain Kill Web. Assessing the required modifications to Corsha’s existing, fully functional ZT Platform for Machines. Developing a plan for follow-on analysis, development, and test effort to prove the operational concept for secure, real-time, low-latency machine authentication. The basic aim of Machine Access Security for Cross Domain Kill Web (MASCK) will be to provide a dynamic, scalable Machine Identity Provider as the foundation for the Kill Web.  This platform will provide controllable identity and access for networked machines and pin access to only trusted sensors, effects systems, and C3 machine nodes in the cyber-enabled network through a fully automated Multi-Fractor Authentication capability. MASCK will create a dynamic, cryptographic overlay of trusted machines in the complex and continually evolving Kill Web environment.
