This paper addresses both well-known and novel techniques for tailoring PKI for the battlespace environment. COTS and GOTS PKIs are seldom required to incorporate temporary "enterprise mergers", whereas the battlespace "enterprise" will need to incorporate temporary coalitions of forces drawn from various nations.
Most enterprise-wide PKI systems assume that users will enroll and disenroll at an orderly pace, whereas the battlespace PKI "enterprise" will grow and shrink abruptly as units are deployed or withdrawn from the battlespace.
Most PKI solutions assume a relatively static, high-bandwidth communication network, whereas communication links in the battlespace will be dynamically reconfigured and bandwidth-limited. However, Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (COTS) and most Government-Off-the-Shelf (GOTS) PKI solutions are not ideally tailored for the battlespace environment. The latter protections would safeguard the confidentiality and (optionally) the integrity of communications between enclaves of users, whereas the PKI protections would furnish identification, authentication, authorization and privacy services for individual users. The PKI would be used in conjunction with communication facilities that are accorded physical and Type-1 cryptographic protections. Earlier versions were used to develop an Intelligent Tutoring System for troubleshooting the Minuteman Missile Message Processing System.Ī Public Key Infrastructure ( PKI) can provide useful communication protections for friendly forces in the battlespace. A workshop was also conducted to train instructors in how to use MITT Writer. A 15 month effort was undertaken in which the MITT Writer system was developed. MITT delivers training on available computing equipment, delivers challenging training and simulation scenarios, and has economical development and maintenance costs. The MITT (Microcomputer Intelligence for Technical Training) architecture is a reasonable approach to simulation based diagnostic training. A training system produced by MITT Writer allows a student to learn and practice troubleshooting and diagnostic skills. MITT Writer is a software system for developing computer based training for complex technical domains.
