<p>New technological advancements call for innovative cybersecurity assurance
measures in preventing increased vulnerabilities through cyber-attacks and cyber
warfare. Current encryption processes are no longer failsafe in secure data
management architectures, especially with accessibility to Advanced Encryption
Algorithms (AES). Through new technological advancements, including
informational technology architectures and autonomous vehicle implementation, it
is imperative to provide new paradigms of security against cybersecurity
breaches. In all realms of data usage, including the development of the Next
Generation of military vehicles, the demand for significant preventative
measures in cybersecurity assurance has dramatically increased. The matter of
advanced need in cybersecurity can be established through the use of MicroToken
Exchange<sup>™</sup> (MTE). By way of MicroToken Exchange, it is
possible to provide an additional robust layer of security that allows the right
data, as well as ultra-secure command and control actions, to get to the right
device, endpoint or End User Device (EUD), at the right time. Through MicroToken
Exchange (MTE), operational changes are made to a sequence of digital data,
which replaces the original data with new data or MicroTokens, prior to the
streaming process; this process protects the data by replacing the real data
with MicroTokens. By changing the data through the streaming process to
MicroTokens rather than real data, the real data is then rendered inaccessible
during the streaming process. When the MicroTokens reach their destination, they
are then transformed for the device-- endpoint or EUD that the information was
intended for--to execute a command. This added transformation layer inhibits
non-authorized users to affect unauthorized actions to any paired End User
Devices (EUDs). This process would provide the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps
with optimized effectiveness, efficiency and security in systems processing with
MTE. MTE can be deployed on a one-to-one, one-to-many, and/or many-to-many
ecosystem. Compatibility of this process is compliant with C, C++, and Java
platforms, with possibilities of translation for multiple languages. MTE makes
command data exploitation unassailable, as systems and connected devices remain
unscathed, fully operational, stable, and secure by preventing these
vulnerabilities. It is both unique and unparalleled in its design architecture.
This paper provides more details on the process and the possibilities aligned
with MTE’s applications. In providing these details, this paper further
converses how MTE can provide cybersecurity assurance to informational
technology aspects of the military. Also, how to integrate into the Next
Generation vehicles for protection against cyber-attacks and cyber warfare in
autonomous systems. By providing these additional layers of security, MicroToken
Exchange would support the mission of the U.S. Army and the U.S. Marine Corps.
This would prevent unauthorized user access to all information and all
autonomous controls, by removing the real data that typically passes through the
streaming process. Utilization of MTE would also coincide with the military goal
of using more Unified Capabilities (UC). By preventing data collection from
unauthorized users, vulnerabilities decrease dramatically, security increases
exponentially, mission effectiveness increases dramatically, and safety of this
nation’s business and warfighter communities are preserved in the cyber
realm.</p>
