RESCUE Development, Evaluation, and NSA Certification
Abstract
RESCUE creates a secure, reprogrammable cryptographic engine in providing Cryptographic Modernized Capabilities including future Over the Network Keying (OTNK) to Fill Devices and End Cryptographic Units (ECU)s. Fill Devices and ECUs will receive, authenticate, and decrypt OTNK messages and increase WarFighter survivability by minimizing the need for Soldiers to travel to obtain keys. Additionally, Cryptographic Modernization decreases probability of key compromise and therefore, network survivability. Redesign and developmental efforts using modern and readily available components for use in the Army's Next Generation Load Devices (NGLDs) are currently underway. NGLD ? M will also address requirements codified in the NGLD CPD and the AKMI CPD that were technologically unachievable with the legacy KOV 21 card as used in the Army?s SKL.
