Key Management Infrastructure (KMI) Awareness for Legacy Devices
Abstract
KMI Awareness initiative creates a secure, highly automated interface in providing future Over the Network Keying (OTNK) capability to legacy End Crypto Units (ECUs). This initiative will allow KMI aware ECUs to receive, authenticate, and decrypt OTNK messages and increases WarFighter survivability by minimizing the need for Soldiers to travel to obtain keys. The current army inventory of ~1.5M ECUs are not currently KMI aware and cannot perform OTNK functionality.
