The Ultra ORION radio technology is now required to adhere to the latest Federal Information Processing_x000D_
Standard (FIPS) 140-2 Level 2 identified in NIST SP800-90B. To help meet this standard, Ultra-TCS engaged_x000D_
Cybersecurity Umbrella in Ontario which has related expertise and has participated with security standards_x000D_
bodies such as ISO and NIST to help industry achieve compliance._x000D_
Cybersecurity Umbrella is also a partner of Centennial College in Toronto. The Cybersecurity_x000D_
Umbrella-Centennial College partnership is now growing to include program development and innovation in_x000D_
cybersecurity. Ultra-TCS and ETS in Montreal together with Cybersecurity Umbrella and Centennial in the_x000D_
Toronto region will co-develop a FIPS-compliant Random Number Generator (RNG) that can be_x000D_
commercialized by incorporating into the ORION radio technology. This includes developing (i) a RNG based_x000D_
on physical noise on FPGA (field programmable gate array); (ii) software to measure entropy generated and_x000D_
ensure it passes certification; and (iii) a Health Module to conduct three type of entropy tests._x000D_
This four-way industry-academic collaboration will result in development and commercialization of a_x000D_
