Intelligence for complex environments.
We investigate how artificial intelligence, behavioural analysis and secure information management can help organisations interpret evolving risks, protect sensitive exchanges and support decisions in space, defence and enterprise environments.
From observations to meaningful assessment
Our work addresses behavioural patterns and anomalies in complex systems, especially where individual events are ambiguous and context determines their significance. The aim is to support traceable, evidence-based assessment rather than replace expert judgement.
Behaviour & anomaly detection
Analyse time-dependent signals, operating patterns and deviations from expected behaviour, distinguishing potentially informative changes from ordinary variability.
Threat & intent assessment
Combine technical observables with mission context, uncertainty and strategic constraints to explore plausible explanations and assess their relevance.
Explainable decision support
Develop interpretable indicators, evidence trails and human-in-the-loop analytical workflows for security-sensitive applications.
Application examples include space situational awareness and space-domain awareness. These describe research directions; they are not claims of deployed operational systems.
SMITH: secure management across untrusted links
Secure Management System over Insecure Transmission Hubs
SMITH is a licensed technology concept for distributed key management and trust-controlled access in communication environments where links, endpoints or intermediary infrastructure cannot be assumed to be continuously available or fully trusted. YourScienceBE explores applications beyond its original space-oriented context.
Satellite & space communications
Originating from the YourScienceTech space-security direction, SMITH is relevant to architectures involving intermittent connectivity, remote assets and sensitive command or data exchanges.
- Space-to-ground and distributed satellite communication scenarios
- Policy-controlled cryptographic key access
- Trust assessment under changing communication conditions
Corporate & organisational management
YourScienceBE positions SMITH for enterprise uses in which sensitive information and management decisions must be protected across multiple actors, systems or organisations.
- Protected exchange of confidential corporate information
- Role- and policy-aware access to cryptographic material
- Distributed trust for inter-organisational workflows
Technical scope: The underlying SMITH approach concerns key fragmentation, controlled reconstruction and trust/policy mechanisms. Integration, performance and security properties depend on the implementation and validation context. This page does not imply that SMITH independently verifies the truth of information or provides a complete corporate-management application.
Connecting secure exchange and informed decisions
The behavioural-intelligence and SMITH strands address different parts of the same problem: understanding what is happening within a distributed system, and managing which actors or components can be trusted with protected information.
