' -3857/2 Serial: NTISS/002/85 27 November 1985 SUBJECT: Security of Telephone Communications - Survey The Executive Agent for National Telecommunications and Information Systems Security recently outlined a program implementing the STU-III family of secure telephones on a government-wide basis. The STU-III family offers us the opportunity to achieve adequate security for our telephone communications at a reasonable cost and with minimum user impact. Deliveries of the secure telephones are expected to begin in 1987. In order to ensure an adequate supply of STU-III telephones, the Executive Agent requested that a comprehensive survey be accomplished to determine telephone security requirements, and asked that I provide any additional guidance to assist you in that endeavor. The attached STU-III Requirements Survey, along with additional supporting information, is for your use in conducting a survey within your organization. Survey results will, in addition to providing a comprehensive baseline for the implementation of the STU-III, serve to support consolidated budget initiatives. A complete and accurate response is essential and should be made without regard to budget limitations or current lack of funding within your organization. Each organization should identify a point of contact for survey matters to the Future Secure Voice System (FSVS) Special Project Office, NSA, no later than 6 December 1985, and return the completed survey by 15 January 1986. All inquiries for additional information or assistance in completing the survey should be addresse FSVS User Relations Staff, NSA, Attention: Operations Building #3, Room C2A52. k E ZAJV%~ WILLIAM E.

A significant area of concern with respect to that objective is the achievement of an orderly and efficient transition from the current STU-II equipment to a homogeneous system based on the STU-III. a. The National Manager for Telecommunications and Automated Informa- tion Systems Security (Director, NSA) shall assign the highest priority for STU-III implementation to the holders of the STU-II equipment. As soon as parallelism between the STU-II and STU-III is achieved, the STU-II will be removed from regular service. b. Purchase of STU-III equipment for non-DoD holders of the STU-II shall be capitalized out of the DoD Central Fund for STU-III acquisition, which is administered by the National Manager. Pending the future development and implementation of a comprehensive, government-wide funding mechanism which addresses the national requirements for telecommunications and information systems security, the Office of Management and Budget is requested to define a Approved For Release 2009/09/03: CIA-RDP87M00539R003104960002-4 c. The National Manager shall arrange for the reallocation of the STU-Ii equipment, with first consideration given to the possible sale of the STU-II to selected Allies at an attractive price. Revenues derived from the sale of the STU-II shall be returned to the DoD Central Fund and used for the purchase of additional STU-III units for U.S. applications. cc: ASD (C31) NSC r Approved For Release 2009/09/03 : CIA-RDP87M00539R003104960002-4 To 95: For your dir ct handling.

Despite our past efforts, sensitive information of our Government and its opera- tions remains available to both potential adversaries and the criminal element due to our lack of telephone security. The development of the STU-III family of low cost, user friendly secure telephones offers us the opportunity to achieve adequate security for our telephone communications at a reasonable cost and with minimum user impact. The STU-III, employing the most advanced technology, will directly replace existing telephones and thus is essentially transparent in operation to a normal telephone instrument. Deliveries of STU-III secure telephones are expected to begin in 1987. In order to implement the STU-III on a Government-wide basis as rapidly as possible, each Department and Agency is requested to conduct an immediate, comprehensive survey of their telephone security requirements, identifying all areas where classified or sensitive information is handled. This survey is to be completed and the results submitted to the National Manager for Telecommuni- cations and Automated Information Systems Security, (Director, NSA) no later than 30 November 1985. The National Manager will provide any additional Approved For Release 2009/09/03 : CIA-RDP87M00539R003104960002-4 guidance required by the departments and agencies in conducting their surveys. Also, the National Manager will establish procedures for distribution of STU-III assets on a prioritized basis proportional to the overall stated requirements of each department and agency. cc: ASD(C31) NSC
