0303140A Communications Security (COMSEC) Equipment

Mission Description and Budget Item Justification: This program develops Information Systems Security (ISS) equipment and techniques required to combat threat Signal Intelligence capabilities and to insure our data network integrity. The Army's RDTE ISS program objective is to implement National Security Agency (NSA) developed security technology in Army information systems. The Communications Security Equipment Technology (COMSEC) is to insure total signals and data security of all Army information systems, to include any operational enhancement and specialized Army configurations. The Army Key Management System (AKMS) automates key generation and distribution while supporting joint interoperability. It provides communications and network planning with key management on a single platform. AKMS is a part of the management/support infrastructure for the Warfighter Information Network (WIN) program. Additional modifications to the AKMS baseline shall be required to support the emerging WIN architecture. System security engineering, integration of available information security (INFOSEC) products, development (when required), and testing are services provided to ensure that C4I systems are protected against malicious or accidental attacks by our enemies or friends. Several joint service/NSA working groups exist in the area of key management to avoid duplication and to assure interoperability between all Services' systems to include standards and testing. For the emerging multilevel network security, the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Multi-Level Security (MLS) working group coordinates the Services different technology efforts. The National Security Agency reviews each service RDT&E program to avoid duplication between and with their own. These projects support development of upgrades to current production vehicles and are appropriately funded in Budget Activity 7.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification: Project D491 - Communications Security Equipment Technology: Project implements National Security Agency (NSA) developed security technology in Army information systems. Project objectives are to provide systems security mechanisms through encryption, trusted software or standard operating procedures to protect the information and to integrate these mechanisms into specified systems so secure operations are as transparent as possible to the users. This entails performing architecture studies and modeling, development models, system integration and testing, installation kits and certifications and accreditations of Automation Information Systems.

Acquisition Strategy: Initial Operational Testing and Evaluation (IOTE) for Tactical End-to-End Encryption Device (TEED) will be done during Task Force XXI in

FY 97. The Production Milestone decision will be made after the Joint Warfighter Demonstration in Fall FY 97.

FY 1996 Accomplishments:

	1200	Continued development of TEED Internet Security Manager, completed critical design review, initiated software coding to perform network management security services of Key Management, Audit, and Access Control
	506	Continued development of re-programmable COMSEC/TRANSEC using Cypris Module or Digital Signal Processing (DSP) chips for embedment into speakeasy programmable digital radio.
	534	Initiated engineering and manufacturing development (EMD) at Baton TEED - a security device for Internet Protocol (IP) as well as Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networks.
Total	2240

FY 1997 Planned Program:

	2574	Delivery of TEED Internet Security Manager (TISM) for usage with TEED and Integrated System Controller (ISYCON); testing in Army/Joint and civilian test bed begins, testing of reprogrammable COMSEC/TRANSEC in tactical settings. Continues EMD TEED development. EMD TEED will protect Army computer network users from hackers, deception and other forms of electronic attack on the Internet. Begin "electronic operations" research to investigate techniques to counter electronic terrorism virus and masquerade against Army assets.
Total	2574

FY 1998 Planned Program:

	2200	Support NSA TACLANE Program.

	3061	Initiate development of common tools set for C2 Protect, and initiate efforts to determine System Vulnerabilities (Information Operations/Warfare)
Total	6201

FY 1999 Planned Program:

	721	Perform in-house evaluations and integrations of INFOSEC equipments such as COMSEC foreign nation releasable chips, high speed encryptors, trusted computer platforms and secure applications.
	200	Perform in-house study for Secure Gateway and provide support to TACLANE program.
	376	Prepare procurement packages for FY00 award for the Secure Gateway, wireless LAN, Personal Communications Services COMSEC, NDI evaluation, and installation support/acquisition contracts.
	1267	Continue common tool set and Vulnerability determination for C2 Protect (Information Operations/Warfare)
Total	2564
