Introduction

Helen Carlton

19 June 2013

Assured Information Infrastructure

• Objective

– provide science and technology support to MOD to enable the

realisation of a continuously evolving single, logical,

reconfigurable, resilient information infrastructure across UK

and deployed, fixed and mobile elements

19 June 2013

Assured Information Infrastructure

• The right information, to the right person, in the right

form, at the right time, to support the best decision to

initiate effective action

19 June 2013

Military vs commercial

19 June 2013

Technolo

UNCLASSIFIED

The challenge

• How can MOD harness civilian advances

– reduced size, weight, power

– open standards

– increased bandwidth, data rate

• In areas such as

– personal communications

– personal computing

– non radio frequency (RF) communications

– automotive communications

19 June 2013

UNCLASSIFIED

The challenge

• Against military constraints

– security

– assurance

– integration

– interoperability

19 June 2013

What we want

• Innovative exploitation of commercial-off-the-shelf

(COTS) technology

• Novel approaches to securing information

infrastructures

• Technology that is inherently small, lightweight and low

• Proposals that show how improvements will be

measured and demonstrated

• Practical demonstrations set in a military context

19 June 2013

UNCLASSIFIED

What we don‟t want

• Solutions that offer no significant defence and security

benefit

• Technology watch / horizon scanning

• Paper-based studies, roadmaps or technology

prediction

• Impractical solutions or ones requiring internal

changes to COTS

• New encryption algorithms

19 June 2013

UNCLASSIFIED

Exploitation

• Planned route for exploitation next financial year is via

research programme

• Ideally an exploitation route to military equipment

19 June 2013

UNCLASSIFIED

C4ISR Secure Information

Infrastructure Services (CSIIS)

• Framework through which aII research is conducted

• Flexible and fluid consortium led by a Prime

• Duration three years

• Research areas

– Communications and Networks

– Information Assurance

– Knowledge and Information Management

Challenge 1

Securing Commercial-off-the-shelf

(COTS) Technology

Trevor Benjamin

• Networks and Information Infrastructure

– wireless, wired, optical

– networking components

– user terminal devices

– server systems and

cloud technology

19 June 2013

Issues • Major problem – SECURITY

• Mismatch - civil and military security risks and requirements

• Issues

– implementation standards and quality

– strength of security functionality

– assurance levels

– accreditation

19 June 2013

Constraints

• Commercial off the shelf (COTS)

• Enhanced and strengthened security

• Unmodified COTS

• Capable of evaluation and accreditation

• Solutions might include:

– separate and novel security devices

– add-on security enhancements

– wrap-around security barriers

19 June 2013

UNCLASSIFIED

Example 1 – Bring your own device

• Benefits of BYOD for MOD

• Work with MOD infrastructure

• Strategic, deployed

and coalition systems

• BYOD that:

– hinder malicious attack

– protect information from compromise

19 June 2013

UNCLASSIFIED

Example 2 – Novel cryptography • Greater MOD use of civil & plain-text communications

• Cryptography close to edge

• Seeking cryptography solutions – at user device

– embedded in applications

• Device and system issues – key management

– identity management

– how to do cyber defence

19 June 2013

UNCLASSIFIED

Do not propose new encryption algorithms solutions should use standards-based or government-defined algorithms

Example 3 – Mobile wireless systems

• Wireless is a key enabler for military operations

– currently bespoke radio devices

• COTS could provide:

– ease of use

– smaller size, weight and power

– cheaper solutions

– training savings

– simpler logistics

• Need to enhance security, robustness, ruggedness

19 June 2013

UNCLASSIFIED

Example 4 – Host-based protection

• Paradigm shift

– move security away from supporting infrastructure

– host based and information based security

• Infrastructure more generic

• Users more responsible for security

• Need novel concepts:

– to enable this change based on COTS

– in security functionality and placement

19 June 2013

UNCLASSIFIED

Human factors

• The biggest security threat is people!

– work-around security functionality

– undermine original purpose

• Consider the people issues

• Need novel approaches to

– human factors of security solutions

– people, culture and information security

– improved socio-technical systems

– human-computer interactions for system security components

19 June 2013

UNCLASSIFIED

Summary • Securing COTS

– in MOD communications and information infrastructures

– match protection mechanisms to military risks

• Novel approaches to military security – using COTS without internal modification

– capable of high assurance and being part of accredited systems

• Examples might include: – “Bring your own device” security

– edge cryptographic protection

– secure mobile wireless systems

– host and information based protection

• Consider human factors – relationship between people and information security

– improved socio-technical security systems

– better human-security interfacing

Challenge 2

Mission-Configurable Systems

Simon Baker

19 June 2013

Introduction

• Military C4ISR (Command, Control,

Communications, Computing, Intelligence,

Surveillance and Reconnaissance) systems

– tend to be stove-piped

– making changes is complicated, time consuming

and expensive

19 June 2013

Revised needs

Courtesy of ISAF Media

19 June 2013

• Rapidly support changing operational

requirements

• Work effectively within the Combined, Joint,

Intergovernmental, Inter-agency, Multi-national

• Front Line Commands have some flexibility to

establish their “fight tonight” initial capabilities

19 June 2013

The challenge

• Innovative solutions to help MOD address the adoption

of a flexible and open systems approach across the

C4ISR Domain

• Demonstrate potential impact of different approaches to

the delivery of mission-configurable C4ISR capability,

including the applications and information services

Example 1 – Cloud computing

• Cloud computing, open information services,

virtualisation

• Demonstrate how new systems could manage

– the loss of information services/communications bearers

• provision of a useful level of local services to the affected

– reconfiguration of services for new tasks and network

changes

19 June 2013

UNCLASSIFIED

Example 2 – Access management

• Management and monitoring of access to information

services at different levels of trust

19 June 2013

UNCLASSIFIED

Example 3 – Operating pictures

• Users want to define their operating pictures, but

mission-critical information must not be masked or

omitted

19 June 2013

UNCLASSIFIED

19 June 2013

Information sharing

• Information needs to be shared across

organisational boundaries

• Need to share information services with

partners at different levels of trust

19 June 2013

Summary

• adaptable solutions

• management of applications and services

• federate with other MOD systems and with external

organisations' systems

• achieve improved resilience, security and

interoperability

• exhibit graceful degradation
