Defense Data Network Subscriber Security Guide.
Abstract
This Defense Data Network (DDN) subscriber security guide describes the security architecture now being implemented for the DDN. The architecture will be used until around 1987 when improved security devices are expected to be available. The guide describes how the architecture will then evolve. The guide assumes that the reader is acquainted, at least regarding terminology, with the Defense Data Network Program Plan as reviewed in May 1982 (DDN82), herein called the Plan. This guide describes the DDN security architecture in greater detail. Section 2 describes the cryptographic security features and points out where subsribers have options regarding encryption. Section 3 describes hardware security, particularly protection against compromising emanations. Section 4 describes the software features of the DDN that are trusted to operate correctly, including features of the subscribers hosts. Section 5 describes requirements for physical and personnel security and other operational matters. Section 6 describes how the security architecture will evolve. Originator-supplied keywords included: Security architecture, Communication networks, Cryptographics, Network security, Data processing security.
