The purpose is to describe and codify the DARPA Information Assurance (IA) program's conceptual framework for defensive techniques in the cyber realm. The focus in the IA program is on cyber defense techniques for threats which are postulated to have the greatest potential impact at the strategic level of conflict. The specific resource we seek to defend is the national information infrastructure (NII), to include the subset of resources dedicated to execution of the defense mission, and commonly referred to as the defense information infrastructure (DII). The paper summarizes a definition of strategic-level conflict, what we mean by cyber defense in the IA program, and the reason for our specific focus on strategic-level cyber defense. Our current efforts to identify and develop SCD warfighting strategies are described, together with a discussion of the technical capabilities which would be needed to implement the strategies.","PeriodicalId":334957,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 1999.

The project objective is to demonstrate an architecture and implementation in which protocol-specific proxies control when data transmission is allowed across the firewall, but which allows the proxy a range of options in determining how that data transits the firewall. By employing proxies that selectively use a range of lower-level protocol stack features, this novel architecture provides higher performance and greater flexibility in determining exactly what information the proxies examine. These decisions are made at the granularity of each proxied connection. We describe the firewall design and implementation and report preliminary experimental results using Fast Ethernet.","PeriodicalId":334957,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 1999.

TCP/IP over ATM over poor quality links is known to fail catastrophically. The major source of this failure is that TCP incorrectly assumes all loss or corruption of data is due to network congestion, so TCP reacts inappropriately. In general, two approaches can be considered. In the first approach, TCP distinguishes between congestion and non-congestion errors and handles the non-congestion errors properly. In the second approach, TCP is shielded from non-congestion errors, so that it doesn't invoke unnecessary congestion control mechanisms. In this paper, a service specific coordination function for transparent assured delivery with AAL5 (SSCF-TADA5) is described. SSCF-TADA5 operates to guarantee the transparent assured delivery of data in TCP/IP over ATM over degraded physical link conditions such as those encountered on a satellite radio link, which is characterized by long propagation delay, high error rate with burst errors, and low throughput. Therefore, TCP is totally shielded from non-congestion errors resulting from poor physical link conditions. SSCF-TADA5 coordinates between the user plane AAL5 service interface and the service specific connection oriented protocol (SSCOP), thereby forming a new service specific convergence sublayer (SSCS) supporting classical IP over ATM. We discuss the design of SSCF-TADA5, and then compare TCP/IP performance with and without SSCF-TADA5. The results of the test show that assured delivery with SSCF-TADA5 significantly mitigates the degradation in the most severe cases, which combine high error rate with high channel utilization.","PeriodicalId":334957,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 1999.

In the meantime, there are many diverse data links that have grown over many years, consumed substantial investment of effort and funding, and are not amenable to wholesale modernization. Consequently, there is a need for a set of tools, to allow interconnected communications among the existing data links. The multi-link translator and display system (MTDS) offers this set of tools. The MTDS provides three basic capabilities: to receive and display tactical data link information, to translate between tactical data link message sets, and to route the data link information between various physical interfaces. The MTDS translates between tactical digital information link (TADIL) A, TADIL B and TADIL J. This paper first describes the MTDS and then presents its Windows NT device driver design. Five important issues are discussed: mapping memory addresses, connecting driver interrupt service routines to interrupts, setting byte alignment in data packing, claiming driver resources and transferring data on industry standard architecture bus.","PeriodicalId":334957,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 1999.

Multi-hop wireless networks provide the best model for tactical networking because of their ability to self-organize and rapidly adapt to change. We focus on a multi-hop wireless network model that is highly dynamic and that consists of mobile base stations and mobile hosts. In this model, there are two key requirements for enabling an effective networking infrastructure for the battlefield: the support of highly mobile nodes and the scalability to a large number of nodes. We present some of the system-level challenges encountered in highly dynamic multi-hop wireless networks. In particular, we address the topology model, the location model, and the routing model in light of the aforementioned challenges.","PeriodicalId":334957,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 1999.
