ARMY KEY MGT SYSTEM
Abstract
Provides Commander with an automated capability to plan, engineer, distribute, and manage all systems that employ Electronic Key, Electronic Protection (EP), and Signal Operating Instructions (SOI). - Army Key Management System (AKMS) AKMS consists of two Workstations, one hosting Local COMSEC Management Software (LCMS) for COMSEC Management, one hosting Automated Communication Engineering System (ACES) for Cryptonet Planning and the Simple Key Loader (SKL). - LCMS is the Communications Security (COMSEC) accounting and generation software that provides Information Systems with Cryptographic Key capability. -Key Management Infrastructure (KMI) will be replacing LCMS. KMI will provide an integrated operational environment that will bring essential key management personnel and functions in-band; achieving an integrated, over the network key management solution to support emerging cryptographically modernized systems. The KMI client nodes will be the Army?s subset of NSA?s Key Management Infrastructure System supporting DoD Global Information Grid (GIG) Net Centric and Crypto Modernization Initiatives. The Mission Planning Mission Support System (MPMSS) Interface for KMI will create a secure and highly automated interface to enable transparent provisioning of KMI products. This interface shall facilitate transparent communications between MPMSS and KMI to achieve integration between provisioning services and the communications net plan of the Warfighter. - The Next Generation Load Device (NGLD) Large is the fill device slated to provide critical key fill and mission data set loading operations as well as preventing the need for additional redundant Software Loader Verifier (SLV) laptops in the field. The NGLD Large will support loading of Military GPS User Equipment (MGUE) which will replace all current Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM) based Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) devices. It meets the critical requirement for time to first fix. The NGLD Large may also be used to configure Warfighter Information Network- Tactical (WIN-T) nodes. Its internal High Assurance Internet Protocol Encryptor (HAIPE) process will allow users to pass black keys across Secure Internet Protocol, Router (SIPR) without having to use the Electronic Key Distribution (EKD) process. The NGLD Large also has potential in meeting Over-The-Network-Keying (OTNK) requirements.
