Cross-Domain Information Sharing in a Tactical Environment
Mel Crocker · 2007
Net-centric warfare in the full spectrum of operations mandates information sharing among non-traditional partners across security domains. This information sharing requires the exploitation of complex technologies and generates significant securi- ty challenges. Traditional information assurance solutions to support cross-domain information sharing have focused heavily on preventive measures, restricting information flow and reducing the risk of information compromise. This constraint on information flow directly opposes the duty of the warfighter to share information. A holistic solution involving robust software components, auditing, and permission management will reduce the risks of unauthorized information exposure to adequate levels without imposing severe information flow constraints.
