Cryptographic Modernization
Abstract
The Cryptographic Modernization Program modernizes cryptographic devices protecting critical information across cyber domain operations and national security. In September 2000, the Defense Review Board (DRB) tasked NSA to evaluate the security posture of the cryptographic inventory. Systems with aging algorithms, those approaching non-sustainability, and those generally incompatible with modern key management systems were identified. Priority systems that required immediate replacement were also identified. In addition, NSA documented the need to modernize the cryptographic inventory with capabilities designed to enable network-centric operations. Replacements/modernization of the near-term vulnerable systems must occur within the timeframe specified in Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Notice (CJCSN) 6510. The DoD Cryptographic Modernization Program was established to develop a modern cryptographic base that provides assured security robustness, interoperability, advanced algorithms, releasability, programmability, and compatibility with the future Key Management Infrastructure (KMI). The program supports an integrated effort across the cyber domain to transform to next generation cryptographic capabilities providing U.S. forces and multinational and interagency partners the security needed to protect the flow and exchange of operational decision making information IAW national and international policy/standards, the validated operational requirements of the warfighters, and the Intelligence Communities. The Cryptographic Modernization Program is a collection of projects accomplished in three phases: replacement, modernization, and transformation. The replacement phase of the program focused on updating and/or replacing out-of-date algorithms along with unsustainable cryptographic products. The modernization phase provides a common solution to existing multiple cryptographic end items, as well as updating mid-term aging/unsupportable crypto equipment. Manpower and logistics requirements will be reduced and manpower efficiencies gained, while incremental capability enhancements and footprint reductions are provided. The third phase of the Cryptographic Modernization Program, transformation, provides common joint solutions which enable secure transparent network-centric capabilities across the cyber domain. Activities also include studies and analysis to support both current program planning and execution and future program planning. This project is in Budget Activity 07, Operational System Development, because it addresses the development and transition of information security, protection, and defensive capabilities and technologies. NOTES: 1. Secure Crypto Enterprise Management (SCEM) was renamed to Remote Operational Management of End Crypto Units (ROME) to better define the project and capability. Funding for this project was folded into the Major Thrust of Technology Development Requirements in FY11.
