ANDRO of Rome Awarded Two New Patents in Cybersecurity

ROME — ANDRO Computational Solutions in Rome has been awarded two utility patents in wireless cyber, command/control and communications networking from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, according to company officials. 

The first patent is for Radio Frequency Fingerprinting Using Attentional Machine Learning, which applies artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to enhance identification techniques associated with radio frequency transmissions. The device uses “attentional-AI” to predict the type of electronic source, which officials said can isolate anomalies or determine potential cyber threats. 

The second patent is for Authentication of Device In Network Using Cryptographic Certificate, which is applicable to networks of interconnected devices across a geographical area, to enhance data collection and environmental awareness. The patented technology can be used with interconnected devices operating in physically unprotected environments that may pose a higher risk of security attacks such as counterfeiting, communication channel “sniffing,” eavesdropping, identity spoofing, and even credential theft, officials said. 

According to ANDRO president, Andrew Drozd, the concept development for the two patents was led by Dr. Anu Jagannath and Dr. Jithin Jagannath, co-directors of ANDRO’s Marconi-Rosenblatt AI Innovation Lab, along with Drozd himself. 

“The MR AI Lab team excels in harnessing the potential of even the smallest software-defined radios, simultaneously extracting diverse signal parameters for intelligent multidimensional analysis and understanding,” said Jagannath, noting that the lab has several additional inventions in the patent pipeline.
