At Baltimore, the MISSI program is designed to allow, if not connection
of classified networks to the Internet, then the ability for classified
components to communicate *through* the Internet using encryption.

SBU is being addressed using Capstone/Tessera/Fortezza/(fill in the name of
the week) while classified elements will use "something else" (RSN).

The next MISSI users group meeting is in Orlando in two weeks.
					Warmly,

ps despite spending considerable time in the Sidewinder suite (and enduring
   a distinct lack of Captain Morgan - they thought I was asking about
   Morgan Death) I *still* do not know what is meant by "Type Enforcement".
