Information Assurance Development
Abstract
This program supports the implementation of the National Security Agency (NSA) developed Communications Security (COMSEC) technologies into the Army by providing COMSEC system capabilities through encryption, trusted software or standard operating procedures, and integrating these mechanisms into specified systems in support of securing the National Network Enterprise in as transparent a manner as possible. This entails architecture studies, system integration and testing, installation kits, and certification and accreditation of Automation Information Systems. The program assesses, develops and integrates information assurance (IA)/COMSEC tools (hardware and software) which provide protection for fixed infrastructure post, camp and station networks as well as efforts on tactical networks. The cited work is consistent with Strategic Planning Guidance and the Army Modernization and Strategy Plan. Funding supports the technical assessment and specifications documentation of cryptographic, key management and information assurance (IA) technologies developed under the direction of the NSA, the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), Joint Services, and commercial developers to secure National Security Systems (NSS) and National Security Information (NSI). Technical evaluations assess the security, operational effectiveness and network interoperability of advanced concept technologies to identify fundamental building blocks for Army IA solutions. (G6 OA22) Develop and publish the strategy to identify and manage the insertion of new security capabilities to bridge operational gaps, providing timely security and performance improvements to the Army's network through the performance of interoperability and standards testing, conducting IA System of System Network Vulnerability Assessments (IA SoS NVA) of Army Capability Sets, and develops and integrates IA/COMSEC capabilities to provide protections for fixed infrastructure post, camp and station networks. Develop Army migration strategies of COMSEC equipment to ensure fully IA-compliant solutions that meet the objective for LandWarNet (LWN) 2020 and beyond. (G6 OA22)
