Proposed Network Security Policy for Integrated Tactical Warning and Attack Assessment System
Abstract
The Integrated Tactical Warning and Attack assessment (ITW/AA) system is a networked system of systems that collects, processes, and produces information, including classified data, in support of missile, air, and space attack warning missions. As with any mission-critical network, ensuring confidentiality and integrity of its information is necessary to support the mission and requires a network information handling policy. This document gives such a policy for the networked automated information systems of the ITW/AA system. Since the successful application of an information handling policy to a system depends on its suitability for the target system, this proposed ITW/AA network security policy takes into explicit account the intercomputer networking topology of the current ITW/AA network. At the same time, appropriate generalizations and abstractions make the policy suitable for future stages of the network. At present, the policy can serve as the baseline for assessing security risk associated with operating the current network.
