Using Embedded COMSEC: An Integrator's Viewpoint,

Abstract

In order to expand COMSEC equipment availability, standardized usage, and lower COMSEC equipment cost, NSA established the Development Center for Embedded COMSEC Products (DCECP). The output of the DCECP, under a program entitled Project Overtake, is a standard set definition of COMSEC modules to be used in embedded applications to provide the encryption/decryption functional requirements in link, data, and voice COMSEC systems. These modules are called Forsee, Tepache and Winstor respectively. This paper describes the use of the standard module set in a generic Command Control and Intelligence System and addresses the issues of embedding these modules from a system integrator's viewpoint at both the system and unit host levels
