Products: exclusively licensed, or are under discussion for licensing, to OrbisIP for distribution to our customers in the Information Security and National Security and Resilience market space:
- Leximancer: commercially-deployed product is a software tool that enables users to find meaning from text-based documents. It automatically identifies key themes, concepts and ideas from unstructured text with little or no guidance. It can be applied to emails, blogs, transcribed voice, newsgroups etc. as well as structured written text. The innovative concept map allows users to interact with the analysis-navigating the true meaning of the text-providing a perceptive tool for intelligence analysts.
- GEMS: The Forensic Evidence Management Tool enables evidence to be stored, categorised, sorted and searched, to provide a coherent evidence repository and management environment. A full evidence matrix can be created pulling together the 'story' of the case, and from that evidence, an output in the form of a report or 'brief of evidence' can be automatically generated. The technology provides a most effective approach to the presentation of a case for efficient distribution and communication to key s
- DIAS: The Digital Evidence Investigation and Analysis Tool is a software application that provides the latest functionality in the analysis and interpretation of digital data for forensic purposes, featuring:Hard Disk analysis - to produce disk geometry; File system processing - to recreate file structure; Registry creation - analyses recently installed software; Event time-lining - to produce a chronological view of computer use; Email reconstruction - recreates email inboxes; Web event viewer - to
Technology Tracker: The following list includes Information Security and National Security and Resilience Technology created by international research groups as identified by OrbisIP for inclusion in our ‘Technology Tracker’ licensing portfolio. We have organised the list by technology cluster for ease of interpretation and use. The technologies are at different stages of Technology Readiness Levels and could be integrated into existing projects under licence. We would be pleased to discuss our customers’ requireme
- Digital Forensics: digital forensic process. Thus it covers the requirements to recover, preserve, assess, analyze and present, digital evidence from the full range of sources of digital data. Such tools are typically required by expert forensic analysts and any technology to support their work and the investigation process in general is also relevant. This cluster also includes tools to support forensic readiness, which may involve preparing systems and relevant data capture and retention to facilitate a later fo
  - Forensic Previewer
- Biometrics: technologies that support the identification of human individuals through an analysis of physical or behavioural traits. Many such systems, for example fingerprint, voice and face recognition, are currently in use and undergoing further commercial development. The various strategies are still evolving so this cluster includes technologies, both of an algorithmic and engineering nature, to improve acceptability, error rates, economics of use and effectiveness in given application scenarios amongs
- Video Analytics: This cluster contains those technologies which support the analysis of images including video sequences and photographs, for the purposes of homeland security. Thus it covers application areas such as computer vision, surveillance, tracking, and related technologies to process, store, distribute and analyze large volumes of image data.
- Cryptography: This cluster covers those technologies relevant to the wide range of cryptographic applications. It includes technologies not only for encryption for confidentiality but also for integrity, authentication, resilience and protocols which rely on cryptographic primitives. Implementation issues are important along with the vexed question of key management. This cluster partly overlaps with application domains for cryptography such as secure electronic transaction and e-voting (cluster 10) and data
- Data & Database Security: This cluster focuses on the application of security techniques to protect data in its various guises as it is stored, transmitted, processed and archived by a variety of applications and systems for the full range of business purposes. The value of business and personal data is becoming increasingly recognized and this cluster covers the use of cryptographic and other means to protect data in a way which supports the business function and usability of relevant software applications.
- Network & Communications Security: This cluster covers those components of a system which protect the user and their data from network attacks. Such attacks may include malware infection, distributed denial of service attacks and direct attempts at penetration. Technologies may be applied at the client or server level, particularly at internet gateways. The cluster also covers technologies to analyse and investigate network attacks as well as security in emerging paradigms such as Software as a Service (SaaS) and Peer to Peer (P2
- Secure Software Development: This cluster covers technologies which support the construction of software with improved inherent security properties. Many current security vulnerabilities arise from weaknesses in the software code base and a variety of tools can be deployed to develop more secure software. Of overriding importance is the need to ensure such tools are cost-effective and can fit within existing software development practices.
- Security Management and Architecture: This cluster exists in recognition of the fact that security is not all about technology, it is also about people, management, risk assessment and architecture. Tools can be deployed to support security requirements in these areas to ensure enterprise security is appropriately managed including, where relevant, through the use of external consultants.
- Hardware, Embedded & Device security: This cluster covers aspects of security implemented in hardware. Typically, secure hardware implementations can be found in areas such as smart cards and embedded systems in control applications. This area covers all aspects of hardware design and implementation with security properties or support for security functionality.
- Web Security: This cluster comprises technologies to support rich and diverse applications on the world wide web. The WWW is continually evolving with new modes of interaction, collaboration and information sharing. Each new niche throws up security risks that may require novel protection mechanisms. This cluster also covers critical areas of web use such as e-commerce, e-banking and e-voting
- Data mining and pattern recognition: This cluster covers those methods that help find actionable information from masses of data. This includes algorithms and systems for text analysis, un-structured data processing, database analysis and presentation of results. Support for human interaction through intuitive querying and visualization is highly relevant.
- Novel Homeland Security applications: This cluster comprises the range of emerging requirements for homeland security applications. Modern Information and Communication Technology is increasingly being sought to tackle difficult security problems that have emerged as priorities for governments world-wide in the last few years.
