SAMSON Technical Demonstrator - SD006 Trial Report - Phase I
Abstract
The Secure Access Management for a Secure Operational Network (SAMSON) Technology Demonstrator (TD) project demonstrates the integration of a data-centric security protection model into existing operational environments. In the context of this project, data-centric security is an architectural approach to securing information assets by using security attributes attached to individual data assets to determine and implement the appropriate level of security for that asset. This document describes the SAMSON TD Phase I trial target, approach, and results. According to the SAMSON TD contract, Bell Canada was to deliver a functionally complete system to a lab environment at a designated DRDC research facility at the end of phase I. In place of a laboratory-based deployment, SAMSON was demonstrated at a military engineering exercise, namely, Empire Challenge 2010 (EC2010). A Military Engineering exercise provides an opportunity to test new technologies in theatre-like conditions. Empire Challenge is a C4ISR exercise that allows new technologies related to information gathering and information management to be deployed. Participation in this exercise was approved by the SAMSON Project Manager and was taken to be the new target deliverable for SAMSON phase I. In order to participate in EC2010, some amendments1 to the original Phase I functionality were required and the phase I end date was delayed to accommodate the development, test and deployment activities for EC2010.
