TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY Revolutionary EM-Based Detection for Control Logic Injection Attacks in Noisy Environments

TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITYRevolutionary EM-Based Detection for Control Logic Injection Attacks in Noisy EnvironmentsGroundbreaking electromagnetic detection tech identifies control logic injection attacks in noisy environments with 90% accuracy.Opportunity: Idaho National Laboratory (INL), managed and operated by Battelle Energy Alliance, LLC (BEA), offers to explore a license and/or collaborative research agreement to commercialize this control logic injection attack detection technology. This technology transfer opportunity is part of a dedicated effort to convert government-funded research into job opportunities, businesses, and, ultimately, an improved way of life for the American people.Overview: Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are essential for maintaining stability in critical infrastructure but are vulnerable to cyber-attacks due to the challenges of applying traditional security mechanisms. Our technology is designed to address these challenges by detecting anomalous

behavior using electromagnetic (EM) emanations, even in noisy environments.Description: Our EM-based detection technology can detect minimal code-injection attacks with above 90% accuracy, regardless of environmental noise. We utilize a high sampling rate and singular value decomposition (SVD)-based noise elimination methods to achieve near-perfect levels of accuracy for detecting attacks, even in sub-0 dB environments. Our approach emphasizes the identification of minute modifications in control logic, helping to maintain full awareness and enable surgical mitigation.Benefits: Accurately identifies single-instruction injections in clean or moderately noisy (0dB) environments.Maintains high anomaly detection accuracy even under loud environments with high sampling rates.Utilizes SVD-based noise elimination techniques to improve detection accuracy drastically.Provides high-fidelity recognition of anomalous activity in noisy environments.Proactively defends against modern cyber threats that traditional IT security devices may fail to address.Applications: Critical Infrastructure OperatorsIndustrial Control System ManufacturersCybersecurity Solution ProvidersGovernment Agencies Responsible for Infrastructure SecurityUtility Companies (Energy, Water, and Transportation)Development Status: Technology Readiness Level (TRL): 4 - Component and subsystem validation in a laboratory environmentIP Status: PCT Patent Application No. PCT/US22/78107, “Detection of Behavior Anomalies in Control Systems and Related Systems, Methods, and Devices,” BEA Docket No. BA-1340.INL is seeking to license the above intellectual property to a company with a demonstrated ability to bring such inventions to the market.
