NSA: Global grid will have data assurance baked in

The National Security Agency is revising its 2-month-old, 2,200-page
information assurance roadmap for the Defense Department.s Global
Information Grid, NSA's Daniel G. Wolf said today at the Microsoft
Security Summit East in Washington.

After incorporating feedback from government and industry, NSA will
release a three-phase architectural plan for secure worldwide data
sharing among and across military and intelligence agencies over the
next two decades.

Wolf, the agency's IA director, said producing the architectural plan
has taken 40 staff-years so far. It spells out no specific solutions
at this point, but it will ensure that IA is baked in. by
authenticating credentials, security clearances, roles and situational
awareness throughout the GIG, he said. Some form of user token will be
part of the security architecture.

It's not only architecture, it will be products and services,. he
said. For example, NSA will design the initial 1-Gbps backbone
encryptors for major GIG communications links. As envisioned, later
phases of the grid eventually could scale up to backbone rates of 40
Gbps and then 100 Gbps.
