Evaluation of Identity Based Encryption (IBE) Capabilities for the US DHS S&T Secure Wireless Communications Program and the CAN-US Security Enhanced Blackberry Trial
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology (S&T) Directorate's Cyberspace Security Research and Development program initiated a Secure Wireless Data Communications Program with the goal of evaluating wireless communications for securely delivering information where and when needed to assist the mission of the Department of Homeland Security. To achieve this goal the DHS S&T Directorate engaged with commercial industry to develop and evaluate solutions against the program's objectives. Voltage Security, Inc. partnered with DHS S&T to provide secure communication solutions based on the Identity Based Encryption (IBE) public key technology for the program. As part of the Secure Wireless Data Communications Program and under the direction of the Canada-U.S. Public Security Technical Program (PSTP) DHS S&T engaged in a collaborative exercise with Defence R&D Canada (DRDC). This exercise was called the CAN-US Security Enhanced Blackberry Trial. The Blackberry Trial's focus was on commercial technologies that can be used to secure the existing commercial wireless infrastructure for the use of the public safety, emergency preparedness, and law enforcement communities. The Blackberry Trial focused on the RIM Blackberry device because of its wide acceptance across all levels of government and in commercial industry. This exercise evaluated security technologies that overlay the commercial infrastructure and gave a frank and objective assessment of their usefulness in the target environment.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
