CHARACTERIZING INFORMATION LEAKAGE FROM USER DEFINED INPUT EVENTS
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-06)
Computer operators cannot comprehend the amount of identifying information that a single machine regularly broadcasts over the internet. These seemingly benign bits of information have the ability to create unintended and ...
NETWORK TRAFFIC ANOMALY DETECTION ON A NAVY NETWORK
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-06)
Navy watchstanders are ill-equipped to monitor network status in real-time, to include an inability to identify network anomalies and potential risks on the fly. This leads to a lack of situational awareness and ultimately ...
FREE SPACE OPTICS COMMUNICATIONS FOR LOW-POWER HANDHELD MOBILE DEVICES
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-09)
This research demonstrates a machine learning (ML) approach to array-based free-space optical (FSO) communication using mobile devices. Modern warfighters need non'radio frequency (RF) communication methods to eliminate ...
CREATING UNDERWATER SOUNDS USING GENERATIVE ADVERSARIAL NETWORKS
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-09)
Current generative adversarial network (GAN) synthesized audio is full of artifacts that can cause it to sound unnatural or machine-like. This thesis proposes a GAN architecture, TangGAN, which reduces artifacts in generated ...
DEPLOYING AN ICS HONEYPOT IN A CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT AND COMPARATIVELY ANALYZING RESULTS AGAINST PHYSICAL NETWORK DEPLOYMENT
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-12)
Industrial control systems (ICSs) provide important services in national critical infrastructure but are increasingly the subject of cyberattacks. The need for ease of maintenance and operational convenience encourages ...
A SECURITY-CENTRIC APPLICATION OF PRECISION TIME PROTOCOL WITHIN ICS/SCADA SYSTEMS
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2021-12)
Industrial Control System and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (ICS/SCADA) systems are key pieces of larger infrastructure that are responsible for safely operating transportation, industrial operations, and military ...
ARCHITECTING AUTONOMOUS ACTIONS IN NAVY ENTERPRISE NETWORKS
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-03)
The three Navy Enterprise Networks (NEN) IT-21, NMCI, and ONE-NET have a slew of automation integration work required in order to match their modern commercial equivalents in the mission of Network Operations (NetOps). ...
CENTRALLY PRETRAINED FEDERATED FINE-TUNING: ENABLING A SECURE AND ACCURATE MILITARY SECURITY APPLICATION ON EMBEDDED HARDWARE
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-12)
A persistent, precise, and adaptive security application is a requisite component to an effective force protection condition (FPCON) as U.S. military installations have become common targets for violent acts of terrorism ...
MACHINE LEARNING OPERATIONS (MLOPS) ARCHITECTURE CONSIDERATIONS FOR DEEP LEARNING WITH A PASSIVE ACOUSTIC VECTOR SENSOR
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2021-12)
As machine learning augmented decision-making becomes more prevalent, defense applications for these techniques are needed to prevent being outpaced by peer adversaries. One area that has significant potential is deep ...
ENLISTING AI IN COURSE OF ACTION ANALYSIS AS APPLIED TO NAVAL FREEDOM OF NAVIGATION OPERATIONS
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2022-09)
Navy Planning Process (NPP) Course of Action (COA) analysis requires time and subject matter experts (SMEs) to function properly. Independent steamers (lone destroyers) can soon find themselves lacking time or more than ...
