Dominic Perez, Chief Technology Officer at Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions and Ken Rich, US Federal Chief Technology Officer at HPE Aruba, explore the evolution and modernization of military command posts.

This white paper examines how building a system with a dissimilar redundant architecture can help overcome the challenges of meeting DO-254/178 DAL A requirements.

The goal of post-quantum cryptography (PQC), also called quantum-resistant cryptography (QRC), is to develop cryptographic systems that are secure against both quantum and classical computers and can interoperate with existing communications protocols and networks.

In this second paper, we cover challenges for deploying QR encryption, including pre-shared key (PSK) management, RFC 8784 - an extension of Internet Key Exchange (IKE) v2 that allows it to be resistant to a quantum computer by using PSKs, and how to implement data-at-rest (DAR) and data-in-transit (DIT) QR encryption solutions today using commercial FPGA devices and off-the-shelf hardware.

Using a Degraded Visual Environment (DVE) system enables aircraft pilots to visualize the landing area in poor conditions, allowing them a safe, on-time descent to their target destination.

Dominic Perez, Chief Technology Officer, Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions, and Aaron Frank, Senior Product Manager, Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions, talk about critical considerations for selecting CPUs, GPUs and FPGAs for rugged field applications and vehicle platforms with size, weight and power constraints.

A Type 1 product is a classified or Controlled Cryptographic Item (CCI) endorsed by the NSA for securing classified and sensitive U.S. government information.

This white paper examines the key challenges multi-core processors present in safety-certifiable systems, and the traditional and newer, more effective techniques for alleviating them to ensure MCP-based systems will safely perform their intended functions.

Learn about the NSA CSfC program, data at rest encryption, capability package, protection profiles, components & layers, and trusted integrators.

Dominic Perez, Chief Technology Officer, Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions and Brandon Gulla, Vice-President and Chief Technology Officer, Rancher Government Solutions, talk about how to take advantage of containerized and virtualized application infrastructure when moving out of the data center and into the combat scenarios.

Classified data-at-rest (DAR) faces both internal and external threats that can subject sensitive data to exploitation.

Steve Edwards, Director of Secure Embedded Solutions at Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions, talks about plug-in card security and the SOSA technical standard.
