DHS S&T is seeking innovative solutions from startups to enhance anti-forgery and counterfeiting capabilities for digital documentation through a new solicitation, “Preventing Forgery and Counterfeiting of Certificates and Licenses,” under S&T’s Silicon Valley Innovation Program (SVIP).
The DHS S&T Silicon Valley Innovation Program will host a DHS Industry Day on December 11th in Menlo Park, California, to describe its operations and new solicitation: Preventing Forgery and Counterfeiting of Certificates and Licenses.
DHS S&T has awarded $192,380 to Factom, Inc., a start-up based in Austin, Texas, to begin beta testing of a capability that uses blockchain technology to secure Internet of Things (IoT) data.
Blockchain is unquestionably the hottest technology being developed today in the private and government sectors.
U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) Cybersecurity Division Director Douglas Maughan addresses how DHS is exploring the use of blockchain and distributed ledger technologies in research and development.
