Securing Training Objects and Records Management Navy SBIR FY2005.2 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2005.2 Topic No.: N05-113 Topic Title: Securing Training Objects and Records Management Proposal No.: N052-113-0318 Firm: GURU Technology 6 Wellington Lane Lexington, Massachusetts 02421 Contact: Raj Laad Phone: (781) 274-6029 Abstract: GURU Technology will demonstrate feasibility of an innovative Framework to integrate enterprise authentication management infrastructure (AMI) with current SCORM compliant training programs and future learning management systems (LMS). The LMS will be connected to the AMI through the Framework. During the Phase I program we will develop a high level architecture for the Framework using open standards technologies such as XML, http, Web and Web Services, JavaScript; providing access controls and security scripting necessary for LMS systems. We will determine what access controls and security scripting techniques are needed for current DoD training programs and future advanced distributed learning programs. Using this work we will develop an implementation plan for the follow-on Phase II program. We will collaborate with an identified Prime Contractor for Navy Support and Training as a commercialization partner for this Training Security Framework. During Phase II, we propose to develop the Framework, integrating it with a SCORM compliant training package with access control. The product of the Phase II program will be well suited for start of a full-scale demonstration across several SCORM training packages with on-site test subjects in a simulated operational environment through a Phase III program. Benefits: This program will integrate current and future LMS systems with AMI via proposed Framework based on open standards technologies, providing AMI features such as authentication, auditing, etc. to LMS systems. LMS systems will automatically benefit from advances in AMI systems. There seems to be a major move within the federal government to transition from training management systems that are paper based or in fragmented computer systems to integrated, on-line Learning Management System. Improved and standardized data access control will become increasingly important as the scope of these implementations broadens. Areas where there is a need for improved auditing of training information, this system would be of a great value. Return
