Transmission Security (TRANSEC)

We at iDirect recognize the critical need to protect the flow of communications to wherever the military and government agencies may operate. Wherever this may be, threat actors readily stand by to monitor, exploit or intercept communications for malicious intent. To mitigate this threat, we have been providing Transmission Security (TRANSEC) capabilities since the initial release of the Evolution software. With the release of 4.2, we have further enhanced our TRANSEC capabilities by extending protection to cover both one-way and two-way networks.

In combatant situations, where even a small “spike” in traffic can be a critical piece of intelligence, the need to mask any communications activity becomes apparent. The National Security Agency (NSA) has outlined the following vulnerabilities inherent in an IP-based TDMA transmission that must be addressed in order to provide true TRANSEC: Channel Activity – The ability to secure transmission energy to conceal traffic volumes. Control Channel Information – Disguise traffic volumes to secure traffic source and destination. Hub and Remote Unit Validation – Ensure remote terminals connected to the network are authorized users.
