SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Abstract of Patent Application(s)
A method for cyber security monitor includes monitoring a network
interface that is input-only configured to surreptitiously and covertly
receive bit-level, physical layer communication between networked
control and sensor field devices. During a training mode, a baseline
distinct native attribute (DNA) fingerprint is generated for each
networked field device. During a protection mode, a current DNA
fingerprint is generated for each networked field device. The current
DNA fingerprint is compared to the baseline DNA fingerprint for each
networked field device. In response to detect at least one of RAA and
PAA based on a change in the current DNA fingerprint to the baseline
DNA fingerprint of one or more networked field devices, an alert is
transmitted, via an external security engine interface to an external
security engine.
Intellectual Property
U.S. Patent No. 11,856,012 B2, issued on 26 December 2023, and
entitled ``Passive Physical Layer Distinct Native Attribute Cyber
Security Monitor.''
The Department of the Air Force may grant the prospective license
unless a timely objection is received that sufficiently shows the grant
of the license would be inconsistent with the Bayh-Dole Act or
implementing regulations. A competing application for a patent license
agreement, completed in compliance with 37 CFR 404.8 and received by
the Air Force within the period for timely objections, will be treated
as an objection and may be considered as an alternative to the proposed
license.
(Authority: 35 U.S.C. 209; 37 CFR 404.)

Air Force Federal Register Liaison Officer.
