DARPA developing devices to safely send data over unsecure networks
The Secure Handhelds on Assured Resilient networks at the tactical Edge (SHARE) program will tackle the problem of sharing classified data over congested tactical networks.
"The usual process for sharing such information requires an end-to-end connection to secure servers via a dedicated digital 'pipe' approved for the specific security level of data being transmitted," according to a DARPA announcement. "If that tactical network is overloaded or if a glitch causes a break in the digital chain, the message or data is typically lost and the process must be repeated until a connection is completed, potentially hindering the mission in fast-moving tactical situations. Additionally, the current computers and infrastructure needed to manage multiple levels of U.S. classified and coalition information are too bulky for tactical use in the field and can take months or longer to deploy."
