Encryption Techniques and Signal Processing
Zenzen, Fran
ORGANIZER: Zenzen, Fran
Highly Available Networks and Assured Information Sharing require advanced security mechanisms to be designed in from the start. The evolution of net-centric warfare enabled mission and communication systems brings the need for comprehensive and cost-effective information assurances throughout the battlespace, from forward to rear to strategic. This session will focus on several advanced signal processing, coding and waveform encryption techniques being developed to better secure the operational environment for the warfighter while providing the secure agility and flexibility needed to support the wide number and types of missions that today's military is faced with in a constantly changing threat environment.
