Description
NOTE: This is an updated and FINAL version of the 2021 TAFCI proposal original submitted on June 29, 2021. Greetly's prior Phase II solution will be further extended and scaled with additional TACFI funding. Through our work with the 96 SFS at Eglin AFB during our Phase II, we have developed software infrastructure, interface, and workflows that enable Sponsors, Security Managers, and Security Forces personnel to exercise real-time control of 100% of the visitor authorizations within their approval hierarchies. The main goals of our involvement in this project are: a) Increase the scalability of the Phase II prototype, so that it may be deployed “off the shelf” to nearly all Air Force installations without requiring additional development or customizations. b) Construct a zero-trust identity authentication system for 100% of non-CAC holders (visitors) to verify access authorization and credentials. This mechanism will be based on USAF trusted private key credentialing, paired against a visitor forgery and spoof resistant identity mechanisms. c) To create an immutable, auditable database of visitor behavior events, with access detail extended to restricted areas such as secure facilities, flight lines, and munitions zones. Behavior events may include entry/exit history, location data, access events, and passive detection systems. d) To prepare this database for future application of machine learning / artificial intelligence (ML/AI) programs to conduct outlier detection and predictively notify installation commanders of emerging security threats. e) To prepare this database for export to Air Force directed systems of record such as the Defense Biometric Information System (DBIDS). f) To prepare this database for export to Common Operating Picture systems used by commanders and emergency responders, such as ATAK, C2IMERA, and COPERS. g) To enable the above in a zero-touch environment, allowing the ability to instantly posture for future pandemics requiring contactless procedures and accurate contact tracing.
