Source-backed fact

What needs to change

Government departments and industries depend on distributed information technology and need trusted cryptographic key-management infrastructure to protect classified or nationally sensitive information and verify communications authenticity.

Source-backed fact

What success looks like

A national COMSEC environment should securely generate, manage, distribute and retire cryptographic keys while supporting interoperable, efficient and assured government communications.
