<p>Technology
has become increasingly more prevalent in all aspects of society since the age
of the computer. The United States Military has successfully integrated the
powerful processing capabilities of computers to increase the proficiency and
lethality of its Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, and Airmen. However, this
increased lethality comes at risk due to the inherent vulnerabilities of
computer systems to spyware, malware, and counterfeit components. Inspired by
the ability of canines to seek out and find electronic devices, this research
sought methods to characterize components by their “scent” using precise
analytical tools. Using these tools, this thesis sought to develop and utilize
non-invasive methods to show proof-of-concept for electronic device classification
by volatile compounds unique to different types of components. The findings of
this research proved that electronic components that vary by age, origin, type,
or manufacturer emit different volatile compounds available for detection using
modern two-dimensional gas chromatography and solid-phase microextraction technologies.
If developed further, the methods used in this research have the potential for application
in the United States Department of Defense to ensure that all electronic
components installed in their systems are authentic, come from a trusted
source, and can be relied upon in even the most stressful operating conditions.</p>
