Edge-Directed Cyber Technologies for Reliable Mission Communication (EdgeCT)*
Abstract
*Previously Secure Distributed Dynamic Computing (SDDC) funded in PE 0603766E, Project NET-01 The Edge-Directed Cyber Technologies for Reliable Mission Communication (EdgeCT) program will enable reliable communications for military forces that operate in disrupted/disadvantaged, intermittent, high-latency environments. The program will create algorithms and software prototypes for use exclusively at the network edge, specifically, on end hosts and/or on proxy servers (middleboxes) fronting groups of such end hosts within a user enclave. EdgeCT systems will sense and respond rapidly to network failures and attacks by dynamically adapting protocols utilized to exchange packets among these hosts, thereby implementing work-arounds (fight-through strategies) that restore networked communication. This will enable highly reliable networked communication for the military in the face of a wide variety of common network failure modes as well as cyber attacks against network infrastructure. EdgeCT technologies will be developed in collaboration with and transitioned to operational commands.
