December 5, 2006; 02:30 AM Trident Systems Inc. announces the certification of Collaboration Gateway, version 1.1.1.
Collaboration Gateway (CG) enables secure, cross-domain instant
messaging for the US military and Intelligence Community (IC). CG 1.1.1
has completed Certification Testing & Evaluation (CT&E) by the
National Security Agency (NSA), under sponsorship from the Joint Forces
Command (JFCOM). CG, along with the Data Sync Guard (DSG) from BAE
Systems, provides the nucleus of the Cross-Domain Collaborative
Information Environment (CDCIE) system developed by JFCOM.
CG features a modular, plug-in architecture that supports a range of
popular collaboration tools, including the IETF standard eXtensible
Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP), known as Jabber. CG
incorporates the W3C XML Digital Signature to provide strong
authentication and authorization, as well as confidentiality and data
integrity. Additionally, CG supports the IC metadata standard for
classification labeling of chat messages.
Using CG, intelligence analysts, commanders and warfighters alike are
now able to chat in real-time with each other across security domains.
This vital capability enables real-time mission planning and other
critical communications with our coalition partners in the Global War
on Terror (GWOT). Trident's www.tridsys.com
CG may also be used to facilitate inter-agency communications between
the DoD and other federal & local government organizations for
emergency response, and/or intelligence sharing.
The CG program was started as an Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL)
funded SBIR program. Early prototypes were successfully demonstrated at
Joint Warrior Interoperability Demonstration (JWID) '03 and '04, and
subsequently incorporated into the JFCOM CDCIE system. JFCOM will
demonstrate CDCIE, including CG, in the Navy's Trident Warrior '07
military exercise in spring 2007.
