Wide area network access management computer

摘要

A system and method for connecting a classified internet protocol (IP) network to a public IP network including an unclassified computing device. The unclassified computing device is a wide area network access management computer which directly connects to a National Security Agency (NSA) High Assurance Internet Protocol Encryptor (HAIPE) device and interfaces between the IP network and the classified IP network. The wide area network access management computer includes a graphical user interface, an internal data network communications interface, an external data network communications interface and a processing unit. The processing unit operates the network interfaces and presents information to the graphical user interface and interprets user input from the graphical user interface. The processing unit also performs the processing and protocols associated with the internal and external networks, performs client processing and allows the user to interact with services on any of the attached networks.

主权项

1. A network access management device for secure communications comprising:
an internal data network communications interface configured to communicate with a classified computing device using a National Security Agency (NSA) High Assurance Internet Protocol Encryptor (HAIPE); an external data network communications interface configured to communicate with an unclassified network; a user interface configured to subscribe the network access management device to the unclassified network; a processor configured to perform processing and protocols associated with interconnecting the internal data network communications interface and the external data network communications interface and associated with subscribing the network access management device to the unclassified network; wherein data can be communicated between the classified computer and the unclassified network via the network access management device on a condition that the device has been subscribed to the unclassified network using the user interface.
