CRYPTO EQUIPMENT GUIDE

The DOE Crypto Equipment Guide is published as an information source and guideline for DOE and DOE contractors in selecting or using crypto equipment. This guide contains general information about NSA approved cryptographic devices that are currently available through the Commercial COMSEC Equipment Program (CCEP) or by direct purchase from NSA. Contractors for DOE must have a properly executed Controlled Cryptographic Item agreement with NSA. This guide is not intended to be a complete source of information but rather a summary. The information herein is only in sufficient detail to familiarize the reader with the basic capabilities of the equipment. Please note that the purchase and use of any product identified as "embeddable" requires prior DOE headquarters approval. A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with NSA must be properly executed in cases where a DOE or DOE contractor/ supplier proposes to use embedded products for classified operations.

CANEWARE
NETWORK ENCRYPTION SYSTEM

FASTLANE ATM ENCRYPTOR

## CANEWARE

CANEWARE is a host-to-host network encryption system designed to provide multi-level security on a packet switched network. It is compatible with Secure Data Network System (SDNS) standards and is transparent to network operations. The CANEWARE system consists of a CANEWARE Front End (CFE) unit, a CANEWARE Control Processor (CCP) unit, and an Auxiliary Vector Management System (AVMS). The AVMS augments the SDNS Electronic Key Management System (EKMS) Mandator Access Control (MAC) information by distributing additional security attributes. The EKMS information and additional security attributes from the AVMS along with Discretionary Access Controls (DAC) from the CCP are used by the CFEs to enforce access controls to the network. The CFE also provides data encryption on communication links. A CFE is required at each network point. The CCP is used to provide DAC information to the CFEs. DAC information is used by the CFE to limit access to each host based on need-to-know information provided by the host to the CCP. A single CCP can control up to 5000 CFEs, which is the maximum number for a single domain. Up to 1000 domains can be supported by the CANEWARE system.

CANEWARE is capable of encrypting and decrypting at through put rates from 1200 bps to 750 kbps full duplex and supports I/O rates up to the T1 rate (1.544 Mbps). It supports standard protocols such as GOSIP X.25, DDN X.25 and CCITT 1984 X.25. The standard KSD-64A is used for loading configuration information and initial keying material. It also serves as a crypto ignition key for the CFE. A multi-level security host encryption system functions on X.25, IEEE 802.3, and Ethernet packets switched networks.

The CANEWARE system is approved for use at all classification levels.. The development program is complete. They are currently establishing production requirements. The approximate cost is $19,500.

## NETWORK ENCRYPTION SYSTEM

The Motorola Network Encryption System (NES) provides encryption security to local area networks (LANs) and Wide Area Networks (WANs). The NES is designed for system high data encryption and can accomodate multiple security communities through network partitioning into separate domains. It provides data confidentiality, data integrity, peer identification and authentication, and mandatory/discretionary access control services. The NES is configured at start up by a configuration disk created by the product server. A product server can be any IBM compatible personal computer. Each product server is capable of serving a maximum of 2000 NES platforms. The configuration disk created by the product server contains application software, discretionary access control (DAC) tables, static routing tables and other configuration information. This information is used to control access to the network protected by a NES platform. The NES can provide secure connections between 802.3/Ethernet and other 802.2/Ethernet networks with a speed up to 1.3 Mbps (half duplex, 1400 byte packets) or 320 packets per second (64 byte packets).

Key distribution can be provided from the Electornic Key Management System (EKMS) or the NES may be physically keyed using a KSD-64A. Up to 250 Traffic Encryption Keys (TEKs) can be supported at one time by the NES. A security battery allows key retention when primary power to the NES is interrupted.

DOE users should contact HR-433 if NES is being considered for any application. The authorized vendor for NES is Motorola Government Electronics Gr., 8201 E. McDowell Road., Scottsdale, AZ 85252-1417. Additional information may be obtained by accessing their web site, http://www.mot.com/GSS/SSTG/ged/iso/nes.html".
