There are provided systems and methods for integrating requirements driven security code into an application system. The security code is integrated into an application system in such a way as to make the integrated security code maintainable and traceable as the application system evolves over time.

The Mission Centric Network Defense System (MCNDS) is a deployable network defense system that monitors network activities, generates and maintains situational awareness of operational activities, and uses this joint situational awareness of networked and operational activities to predict the mission impact of alterations and disruptions of networked resources. The MCNDS uses its predictive capability to rank information operation (IO) courses-of-action (COAs) and interpret network alarms and intrusion detections in terms of expected operational mission impact.

The Digital Video Authenticator (DVA) addresses law enforcement concerns for a means to authenticate digital video (DV) so that it will be admissible and trusted as evidence in court. The DVA is a peripheral device attached to a commercial digital video recording device whose purpose is to generate and record authentication data simultaneously as DV is recorded by the video recording device. Verification of the authenticity of a DV sample will be accomplished using non-real-time software tools. The DVA system and method reads digital video (DV) data from a digital video recording device; parses the DV data into elements representing video, audio, control and timing data; and creates digital signatures that can be used to validate the original DV tape. The combination of secure digital signatures and repeatability of the DV data stored on tape provides the basis for proving the original video has not been modified.
