Mobile Person Authentication Security System Navy SBIR FY2012.2 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2012.2 Topic No.: N122-149 Topic Title: Mobile Person Authentication Security System Proposal No.: N122-149-0750 Firm: Physical Optics Corporation Products and Engineering Division 1845 West 205th Street Torrance, California 90501 Contact: Alexander Milovanov Phone: (310) 320-3088 Web Site: www.poc.com Abstract: To address the Navy need for a flexible approach that provides DoD users with a secure and efficient mobile interface for DoD business systems, to maximize mobile technology use while maintaining information security, data protection, and integrity, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Mobile Person Authentication Security System (MPASS) that imparts a biometric signature as one factor of a two-factor authentication and uses it for data protection in transit and at rest. Innovative methods of biometric key-based data protection provide enhanced security, data protection, and reliable user authentication. MPASS service-oriented architecture provides mobile device integration with existing Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and Active Directory (AD). In Phase I, POC will investigate and analyze current and evolving DoD and commercial products and initiatives for mobile user technologies; and develop a strategy and cost-effective MPASS system architecture and improved mobile device policy that will allow secure integration of mobile technologies with business systems. POC will select the best technologies for use, and demonstrate the feasibility of the MPASS technology by designing and assembling a proof-of-concept TRL 4 MPASS system prototype. In Phase II, an advanced MPASS system TRL 6 prototype will be assembled and demonstrated under representative operational environments. Benefits: Military applications of the MPASS will include missions that require data residing on mobile devices and missions with which a connection to the network is not always available. POC's MPASS technology can be incorporated by the Navy into mobile hand-held devices as an efficient means to access DoD systems that perform recruiting, personnel, travel and training functions. Commercial applications of the MPASS include banks, commercial, and health care businesses in which MPASS will help protect their corporate data on mobile devices with centrally managed access control; law enforcement agencies; scientific and government applications; and space, where the MPASS will help protect information systems and sensitive data, seal borders, secure air lines, and protect against terrorist attacks. With the ever-growing surveillance industries in the U.S. and around the globe, the MPASS has strong potential to be a lucrative product in the private sector. Return
