Design Standards

Key2 Technology™ security solutions are designed to be FIPS 140.2 compliant and IPv6 Capable.

FIPS 140.2

The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140.2 defines the security requirements that must be satisfied by a cryptographic module used in a security system protecting unclassified information within IT systems.  There are four levels of security: from Level 1 (lowest) to Level 4 (highest). These levels are intended to cover the wide range of potential applications and environments in which cryptographic modules may be deployed.

Open Source Software Use

The use of open source software is rapidly evolving. The DOD and government agencies are embracing policy for open source software use.

The Journal of Defense Software Engineering addresses open source software use in the  January 2005 edition.

"Whether you realize it or not, you rely on open source software every day. Open source software provides the underpinnings for the Internet, directs much of the world's e-mail traffic, and powers more than two-thirds of the world's Web sites."

     - from Open Source Software: Challenges and Opportunities by David Tuma

The Seven Layers of the OSI Model

The OSI, or Open System Interconnection, model defines a networking framework for implementing protocols in seven layers. Control is passed from one layer to the next, starting at the application layer in one station, proceeding to the bottom layer, over the channel to the next station and back up the hierarchy.

Future Technology and Developments of Interest

The Semantic Web  - "The Semantic Web is an extension of the current web in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation." -- Tim Berners-Lee, James Hendler, Ora Lassila, The Semantic Web, Scientific American, May 2001

Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC)

The DISA, Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) supports the Warfighter in their efforts to manage information on and off the battlefield.  This includes:

  * Being an independent operational test and evaluation/assessor of DISA, and other DoD Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I) acquisitions
   * Identifying and solving C4I and Combat Support Systems interoperability deficiencies
   * Providing C4I joint and combined interoperability testing, evaluation and certification
   * Bringing C4I interoperability support, operational field assessments, and technical assistance to the Combatant Commands, Services, and Agencies
   * Providing training on C4I systems, as appropriate

JITC VISION

JITC will be the preeminent information systems evaluator, reducing risk to the warfighter by providing value-added process and product evaluations, operational assessments, and technical assistance throughout the life cycle of DoD Systems.

The JITC is the place for "one-stop systems testing" with its one-of-a-kind array of hardware, software and staffing, along with its state-of-the-art technological flexibility. The command can interface all its on-site capabilities and network with any other testing or operational facility worldwide.
