Secure Mobile Communications Successful interoperability between agencies depends upon secure mobile communications how willing are the other agencies to share information about encryption keys, key generation, storage location number assignments and transport protocols. By following a consistent set of standards for encrypting sensitive voice traffic, P25 and tactical radio as outlined by the NIST Resource Center, interoperability challenges are minimized.
Encrypted VoIP Red/Black Operation Red/Black Console Operator capability: • Simultaneously listen to both red and black audio • Select to talk on red circuit audio while still listening to black audio • Select to talk on a black circuit audio at which time red audio is muted • Denied the ability to simultaneously talk to both Red and Black radio circuits
• Adopt a tested standard of key generation and distribution parameters that will enhance interoperability between known Secure Radio Communication Systems mobile radio devices. For the tactical radio space, It is vital that each agency • Develop and effective key management structure use best practices for encryption and key management • Develop and stick to a storage location number plan that works in a consistent manor when collaborating with multiple for all parties • Nothing less than a AES-2567 advanced encryption standard is entities. best. Here is an example of some best practices we wish to • Define a specific Crypto period that all parties can agree upon • Develop communication plans that employ encryption share: • When possible, test these communications in mock scenarios prior to crisis events.
