Research abstract
The Marine Corps requires a means of securing group communications at the tactical edge that does not rely on a Type 1 device. WPLs Twice Encrypted and Authenticated Messaging (TEAM) solution combines NSA Suite B cryptographic primitives with overlay multicasting to provide this capability in a manner that is consistent with the NSAs Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) process. Our solution is extremely bandwidth efficient. For example, a notional 1000-byte Application Layer message will be expanded to a 1059-byte IPv4 packet by TEAM. This is less than 1/3 of the overhead expansion incurred in existing CSfC solutions for securing unicast data in transit.
