Information Assurance Development
Abstract
Project 491: Information Assurance (IA) Development. Supports the implementation of National Security Agency (NSA) developed Communications Security (COMSEC) technologies within the Army enterprise and tactical networks by ensuring COMSEC devices/systems are cryptographically interoperable and standard based. This entails architecture studies, technology assessments, secured devices testing, system integration and installation kits development to provide protections for fixed infrastructure post, camps and station networks as well as tactical networks. The cited work is consistent with Army's Mission Command Implementation Plan LOE 1, Network Enable Functions. IA Development funding Implements, establishes functional and technical boundaries of cryptographic, key management and IA capabilities In Coordination With (ICW) the NSA, the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), and Joint Services, to secure National Security Systems (NSS), and National Security Information (NSI). Technical evaluations assess the security, operational effectiveness and network interoperability of advanced concepts/technologies to develop policies, standards, and fundamental building blocks for Army COMSEC capabilities that reduce the risk of future materiel solutions that could underperform and disrupt classified operations. Develop and publish COMSEC and key management implementation planning guidance to identify, standardize, and govern the insertion of IA capabilities that will bridge operational gaps and support the DoD and NSA mandated requirements to enhance network capacity while providing secure information exchange of voice, video, and data IAW the Army Network Campaign Plan. This will be accomplished by interoperability test and evaluation, standards development, technology roadmap development and System of System Network Vulnerability Assessments (SoS NVA) to provide protections for the Army Integrated Tactical Networks.
