Trusted Networks (TNets)
Abstract
The Trusted Networks (TNets) program will create technology that allows any underlying network path to be used for command and control, enables automated command and control functions to be distributed using trusted platforms (e.g. trusted Distributed Computing), and supports distributed network forensics and continuous verification. Based on technologies developed in the Secure Handhelds on Assured Resilient Networks at the Tactical Edge (SHARE) program (budgeted in this PE/Project), TNets will build architectural redundancy and trust at multiple levels with trusted hardware, software-defined radio and networking protocols, and network-level integrity using novel, distributed security. TNets will also develop a trusted network appliance and networking design principles that enable resilient and secure tactical and strategic communications regardless of the underlying physical infrastructure. This will provide mission-adaptive military connectivity, while minimizing network logistics and interoperability burdens. Technologies developed under this program will transition to the Services.
