Architecture

Lucid’s technology is specially designed for illicit network discovery, analysis and control. The system has two principal information inputs, a table of network nodes with the nodes’ attributes, and a table of links between the nodes with the links’ attributes. These tables are typically heterogeneous in structure.

Lucid’s analysis determines the malignancy of nodes and links by analyzing them simultaneously and recursively resolving their relationship or absence thereof. Lucid’s analysis may span very dense, very high-scale matrices (node and link datasets). Analysis may be performed in batch or real-time modes. Network discovery is performed even across multiple degrees of separation, at a scale and speed not possible with traditional forms of analysis.

Integration

Lucid is designed to accept input from existing information assets, and can incorporate rule structures and other heuristics if desired.
