RwM Resilient takes Redwall Technologies commercially-available multi-level mobile security solution, Redwall Mobile (RwM), to a new level by layering resilience into its operation. RwM represents the best in class protection for operating systems like Android and provides our patent pending method of combining cryptographic and temporal separation, which may be the only certain way to securely separate different classifications on a single device. As such, RwMs existing design will provide the basic protection architecture for all interconnected multi-level security processors targeted by this solicitation. The key innovations Redwall will make during this SBIR will be: 1) development of a framework to categorize critical data components and determine the best methodology for identifying unauthorized modifications, 2) correcting the modifications, and 3) restoring secure operations with a minimum of disruption, including protection against denial of service and zero day attacks.

Benefit:
The foundation for a communication, command, and control (C3) network that is resilient against zero-day and denial of Service (DoS) attacks, and able to operate at differing classifications without leaking data across boundaries.
