"Cloud Security and Video Forensics Software Have Been Transitioned to End Users"

Keylime and the Forensic Video Exploitation and Analysis (FOVEA) tool suite, both developed by MIT Lincoln Laboratory to enhance security, have been awarded 2023 Excellence in Technology Transfer Awards by the Federal Laboratory Consortium (FLC). Keylime improves the security and privacy of cloud-based data and services, while FOVEA accelerates the process of evaluating and extracting meaningful information from surveillance recordings. Keylime is open-source software that enables users with sensitive data to continuously verify the security of cloud machines as well as edge and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. A piece of hardware known as a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is used to enable continual security checks. The TPM generates a hash that will change if data tampering occurs. Keylime makes TPMs compatible with cloud technologies. The software responds within seconds to a TPM hash change to shut down a compromised machine. Keylime also allows users to securely upload cryptographic keys, passwords, and other secrets without revealing them to the cloud service provider. This article continues to discuss the two Lincoln Laboratory software products honored with national Excellence in Technology Transfer Awards.
