Notice ID: 1333ND21QNB770199 "The purpose of this acquisition is to procure contractor support services for the following task areas: Develop, test and deploy performance and feature enhancements to the existing RPKI Monitor v2.0 framework. Research and evaluate potential machine learning techniques to add the ability to identify anomalies in RPKI and global routing data. Develop final documentation of the enhanced RPKI Monitor framework." "Deliverables shall be in the form of technical presentations, design and specification documents, open source software prototypes, documentation for all software tools and reports on test results. Results from these tasks will be incorporated by NIST into technical contributions to Standard Development Organizations (SDOs) and/or publications in technical conferences and journals." "The Contractor shall provide all support for project oversight, administration, and technical execution of this requirement. The Contractor shall complete the following tasks and provide the following deliverables: Task 1: Enhancements to the RPKI Monitor v2.0 framework. a) Develop, test and deploy software enhancements to the RPKI monitor v2.0 framework to improve the performance of interactive user selected analysis parameters. b) Incorporate new data sources, including geolocation data for address blocks and autonomous systems, and dynamic access to RIR data sets to enable accurate representation of the organization that holds specific address blocks and AS numbers... Task 2: ML-based algorithms for BGP and RPKI anomaly detection. a) Conduct a survey of previous research in the use of machine learning and other advanced analysis techniques to identify malicious and anomalous events in the global BGP routing and RPKI systems. Identify promising machine learning algorithms for further empirical analysis. b) Develop labeled data sets necessary for training and testing identified machine learning algorithms, using global BGP trace data and synthetically generated data of anomalous events. c) Prototype and evaluate software to apply the identified machine learning algorithms identified in the survey to BGP and RPKI data sets... Task 3: Final Software and Documentation. a) Produce final internal documentation on the design, implementation, maintenance, and use of the RPKI Monitor 2.1 framework…" Read more here.
