Location Specific Digital Fingerprinting (LSDF)

2 recipients will receive $1,446,000. This is a first-time earmark.
Year Enacted: 2005
Description: The Location Specific Digital Fingerprint (LSDF) was a digital authentication tool that destroyed the capabilities of hacker tools by introducing physics into the computer security equation and offered true security for both wired and wireless networks. In addition to providing unpredictable random numbers that cannot be tracked by hackers, the LSDF also yielded specific information about the environment around a computer which allowed the identification of the space around it. The LSDF system allowed the introduction of the strongest security and access control required by the government for use in National Security Systems and has significant positive impacts in protecting U. S. critical infrastructure.
