Secure Connectionless Intelligent Network Extension for Autonomic Messaging: SCINetEx

by Russel Clement, Sarah Lauff

Overview

Secure Connectionless Intelligent Network Extension (SCINetEx) is a text book for instruction and reference in developing low power wireless network extensions described in US Navy Patent #8855311. A detailed discussion is included that describes hierarchical messaging and network configurations supported by blockchain encryption key management protocols for enhanced security when using un-trusted Wide Area Networks (WANs). Regulatory requirements are also discussed as applied to the primary wireless medium that implements the IEEE Standard 802.15.4 waveform. Various network configurations are detailed that support autonomic terse messaging for applications such as in-transit visibility, transport and physical security, fleet optimization and management as well as sentient machine-to-machine communications. There are many topics addressed in this text specific to Network topology, data frame structures and operation including Network protocol stack set up, MAC protocol configuration set up, Network PAN ID standardization, Ad-hock/mesh network topology, red team testing and message encryption. There are over 40 figures included that to help make complex configurations addressed in this book easy to understand.

About the Author

Russel E. Clement is a retired physicist from Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center – Pacific (SSC PAC) with over 33 years of laboratory research and program management experience in the areas of solid state devices, wireless security network technologies, distributed systems implementation and technical requirements development for the US Departments of Defense and Homeland Security (DoD and DHS). His duties have included basic laboratory research, scientific program manager and national lead for systems integration. Mr. Clement has authored 40+ technical articles on nuclear and space radiation effects on solid state electronics, space-based sensing and terrestrial communications supporting fully integrated Command and Control systems. He currently holds six Patents. Previous work also included service with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) where he oversaw the development of infrared sensors, secure distributed communications network components, integrated circuits and big data analytic tools. He received the Federal Laboratory Consortium National Award in 2014 as well as commendations from the White House Office of Science and Technology, US Secretary of the Navy and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for advancement in sensing and distributed network systems. His current interests include development of terse messaging systems for implementation of artificial intelligence in the operational environment.

Sarah Lauff is a mathematician at Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center – Pacific (SSC PAC). She received her BS in Mathematics from Point Loma Nazarene University and, after graduating, began her career at SSC PAC in the field of wireless communication. Throughout the past ten years, Ms. Lauff became one of the youngest Principle Investigators at SSC PAC for her project entitled “Developing IEEE 802.15.4 for Android Applications”, which transitioned to multiple projects. In 2014 she received the Federal Laboratory Consortium National Award and currently has been awarded four Patents.
