COMSEC Authorized User

Designated by the CRO, this individual uses COMSEC materials and equipment to perform his/her mission and must safeguard these assets at all times. once trained, may be designated and granted access to materials within their account.

Terms

Encryption, Decryption, Algorithm, Vulnerabilities, Threats Crypto-Key - aka, a Key Variable is the parameter or numeric value used in encryption and decryption Cryptanalysis - the act or science of deciphering a code or coded message w.o prior knowledge of the key.

Standard Form 701, Activity Sec Checklist

End-of-Day Checks - Organizations that process or store classified info must establish a system of security checks at the close of each duty and/or business day to ensure that any area where classified info is used or stored is secure.

Secret

GSA-approved safe or Class "B" vault ( or Class A vault with TS). safes and vaults equipped with a lock requiring a single combo.

Controlled Cryptographic Items CCI

Keyed CCI will be protected at the highest classifaction of the key it contains. Unkeyed CCI, while not classified are considered sensitive and should be stored in a secure place.

Accountability of COMSEC material

Personnel: 1 Will know what COMSEC materials they have. 2 Will know where those materials are. 3 Will know that the materials are properly protected and accounted for.

Routine Precautionary Emergency

ROUTINE - approved methods - burning, shredding, pulverizing/pulping PRECAUT - performed anytime theres imminent danger of compromise EMERGENCY - more urgent, in face of an enemy attack.

Secure Internet Protocol Routing SIPR

Signals identified as Red Data are info that contains unencrypted sensitive or classified plain text info. if acquired can be read w.o any deciphering thus plain text

The component of COMSEC resulting from the provision and proper use of technically sound crypto systems demands we never bypass operating procedures. even with best TRANSEC techniques, we cannot always prevent our enemies from intercepting info.

AF Form 1109 Visitor Register Log

There will be situations where an individual may have proper id and a sufficient need-to-know, but does require a full time and unescorted access to the material. Not added to access list but on AF Form 1109 aka Visitor Register Log - distinct badge (usually red or pink) as "escorted" or restricted access

Access Requirements

Three following requirements must be authenticated: 1 Need-to-Know - confirm person has a valid need for info 2 Proper Security Clearance - you may require top secret clearance in order to do your job 3 Proper Identification - possess an official form of id as well as hold US citizenship.

COMSEC Management

Three roles: 1 COMSEC Manager 2 COMSEC Responsible Officer 3 Authorized User

COMSEC has been subdivided into manageable security programs:

Transmission Sec (TRANSEC), Cryptographic Sec (CRYPTOSEC), Emission Security (TEMPEST), and Physical Security.

Physical Security

Two areas protected by physical sec are: controlled areas and restricted areas. controlled - medical facilities, armory, academic testing rooms, etc restricted - Command Posts, Air Operations Centers, and SCIFs.

Access List

Unescorted access to COMSEC material should be limited to people named on an officially published access list. This ensures personnel have the proper authorization to gain access to a secure area. clearance must be equal or higher than COMSEC info. CRO sig required.

AF IMT 1109 or FAA Form 1600-8

Users positively identify all COMSEC assessors by comparing the identification card (DD Form 2, ArmedForces Identification Card [Active, Reserve, and Retired], Common Access Card, or Air Force Form 354,Civilian Identification Card) with the assessment/audit message notice, TDY orders, or records theCOMSEC manager provides

COMSEC Doctrine

Nonsecure Internet Protocol Routing NIPR

signals identified as Black Data are info that carry encrypted classified info, or cipher text. can also be unclassified data or CUI data. Controlled Unclassified Info

Confidential

stored in secure room, but can be stored under the same safeguards as Top Secret or Secret COMSEC materials. any approved GSA container will have a Standard Form 702, Security Container Check Sheet (SF 702), attached to it.
