Abstract

A full spectrum cyber identification determination process for accurately and reliably determining and reporting any identification determination from a full spectrum of possible cyber identification determinations. Utilizing cyber resources and predetermined criteria for providing cyber identification determinations for at least one unidentified subject of an observation, the process: provides identification determinations for any possible subject of an observation; provides for the utilization of any selected attainable level of accuracy, up to, and including 100% accuracy; provides for single, intermittent, and constant identification determinations; utilizes any available cyber resources; interacts with utilized cyber resources to provide any possible function and/or observation; recognizes characteristics from observations and then utilizes recognized characteristics for comparing and/or determining; provides and utilizes a standard set of designations for representing all aspects of the process; utilizes useful information and/or outcomes from comparing for making identification determinations; and, reports on any aspect of the process at any time.
