Small Business Innovative Research (SBIRs) l http: //www. hsarpasbir. com l CROSS-DOMAIN ATTACK CORRELATION TECHNOLOGIES (SB 04. 2 -001) u Objective: Develop a system to efficiently correlate information from multiple intrusion detection systems (IDSes) about “stealthy” sources and targets of attacks in a distributed fashion across multiple environments. l REAL-TIME MALICIOUS CODE IDENTIFICATION (SB 04. 2 -002) u Objective: Develop technologies to detect anomalous network payloads destined for any service or port in a target machine in order to prevent the spread of destructive code through networks and applications. These technologies should focus on detecting “zero day attacks”, the first appearance of malicious code for which no known defense has been constructed. 8 November 2005 21

SBIR FY 05. 2 Submission l. Hardware-assisted System Security Monitoring OBJECTIVE: This topic seeks technologies that provide a hardware-assist for the monitoring of system security. It is expected that the resulting solutions would be some type of inexpensive coprocessor board that would work with existing hardware and software, resulting in a system with much higher assurance than currently available. By putting the monitoring capability in hardware it is much more difficult for an attacker to disable this part of the system because the board is isolated from potential remote attackers and would require physical access to compromise the hardware-assist board, thus, providing the owner/user technology that can monitor the security health of the system in near real-time. This will ensure that even when the machine is on, but the user is not using the machine, the system will be monitored and can even be "shut down" so unknown communications is not sent while the user's away. The hardwareassist system should have the capability to collect and store information forensic purposes and the system should also have capability to report security related events to a central monitoring station. l Solicitation at http: //www. hsarpasbir. com 8 November 2005 22
