60 Minute Network Security Guide: First Steps Toward a Secure Network Environment (Version 1.0)
"During the last four years the National Security Agency's Systems and Network Attack Center has released Security Guides for operating systems, applications and systems that operate in the larger IT network. These security guides can be found at our web site www.nsa.gov. Many organizations across the Department of Defense have used these documents to develop new networks and to secure existing IT infrastructures. This latest Security Guide addresses security a bit differently. Our goal is to make system owners and operators aware of fixes that become force multipliers in the effort to secure their IT network. Security of the IT infrastructure is a complicated subject, usually addressed by experienced security professionals. However, as more and more commands become 'wired', an increasing number of people need to understand the fundamentals of security in a networked world."

Issues in British and American Signals Intelligence, 1919-1932
From the Summary: "The best-known element of signals intelligence during the First World War is work against the operational traffic of armies and navies, centering on cryptanalysis and traffic analysis; however, overwhelmingly its largest form, and the area where it was most frequently used, lay in blockade and economic warfare. This paper will center on Britain's role in this area, but British efforts were simply the main element of an allied system. From the start of the war, France pursued independent, essential, and parallel actions; Italy and Japan were less cooperative and important. When the United States entered the war, it worked with the existing system, and left management of the blockade and censorship of maritime cables to Britain and France."

NSA/CSS Strategic Plan 2001-2006
Intelligence and information systems security complement each other. Intelligence gives the Nation an information advantage over its adversaries. Information systems security prevents others from gaining advantage over the Nation. Together the two functions promote a single goal: information superiority for America and its allies. NSA/CSS used technology to help win the Cold War, building a stable, well-funded, focused organization that provided a unique product to decision makers. As the preeminent information organization in the Industrial Age, they provided and protected the Nation's secrets. But the proliferation of information technologies and the emergence of the global network have begun to transform the world, altering fundamental ways of thinking and communicating. Old patterns are giving way to agile and collaborative processes and technologies. Old methods of behavior and communication still exist, but the future is clear. If NSA/CSS is to continue to serve the Nation by providing and protecting vital information, they must embrace change and resume our place on the forward edge of technology. NSA/CSS must master and operate in the global net of tomorrow. This plan outlines the goals of the NSA/CSS up to the year 2006.

Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) at NSA
"What is Electronic Intelligence (ELINT)? ELINT is information derived primarily from electronic signals that do not contain speech or text (which are considered COMINT)[Communications Intelligence]. It is divided into major branches. One branch is Technical ELINT (TechELINT), which describes the signal structure, emission characteristics, modes of operation, emitter functions, and weapons systems associations of such emitters as radars, beacons, jammers, and navigational signals. A main purpose of TechELINT is to obtain signal parameters which can define the capabilities and the role that the emitter plays in the larger system, such as a ground radar locating aircraft, and thus lead to the design of radar detection, countermeasure, or counterweapons equipment. The overall process, including operation of the countermeasures, is part of electronic warfare. Another major branch is Operational ELINT (OpELINT), which concentrates on locating specific ELINT targets and determining the operational patterns of the systems. These results are commonly called Electronic Order of Battle (EOB). OpELINT also provides threat assessments, often referred to as 'tactical ELINT.' OpELINT intelligence products support military operational planners and tactical military commanders on the battlefield. A former third major branch of ELINT is the collection, processing, and reporting of foreign telemetry signals intelligence (TELINT). TELINT is technical and intelligence information derived from the intercept, processing, and analysis of foreign telemetry. At one time Telemetry Intelligence was considered a branch of ELINT since TELINT (later to be called FISINT - Foreign Instrumentation Signals Intelligence) activities are closely related to TechELINT procedures and were conducted by all of the Department of Defense (DoD) military departments. TELINT is a critical source of performance information on foreign missiles and space vehicles while they are being developed and tested. TELINT can also provide much operational information on foreign satellites and space vehicles."

Best Practices for Keeping Your Home Network Secure
"The cyber threat is no longer limited to your office network and work persona. Adversaries realize that targets are typically more vulnerable when operating from their home network since there is less rigor associated with the protection, monitoring, and maintenance of most home networks. Home users need to maintain a basic level of network defense and hygiene for both themselves and their family members when accessing the Internet."
