Since its introduction in 2014, the National Security Agency Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) program has proven very effective in lowering the cost and speeding the accessibility of encryption for critical data-at-rest (DAR).
Today’s Military Data Storage Goes Far Beyond Rugged
It’s not just about shielding data drives from shock and vibration; designers also are looking for the latest in speed and capacity, and want encryption to protect data at rest, and security to foil tampering.
PCIe Gen3 and NVMe Drive Classified Data-At-Rest Data-Storage Rates
The SOSA Consortium is driving industry for data recorders that can support 100 Gb Ethernet with encryption to support the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) ISR roadmap.
Protecting Top-Secret Data with NSA-Approved COTS Encryption
Paul Davis looks at the Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) Program, the CSfC approval process and the benefits of being on the CSfC component list.
Getting Up to Speed on NSA-Approved Two-Layer Commercial Encryption
Paul Davis looks at how CSfC allows system designers to now deploy a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solution with encrypted data protection for Type 1 products reducing time and cost.
Security and Solid-State Media Driving Data Storage
It's not enough to have rugged data storage with massive capacities and solid-state storage technology; today they also must offer multi-level data encryption, quick erase, and anti-tamper features.
