White Paper: Demystifying Hardware Full Disk Encryption Technology for Military Data Storage

Securing Classified Data

Historically, classified, secret, and top secret data storage could only be accomplished through the implementation of a Government-Off-theShelf (GOTS) Type 1 security solution. Following government protocols, the desired end result -- data at rest (DAR) protection – is achieved. However, type 1 security solutions are broadly associated with lengthy implementation times and significant development costs.

Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) Programs

Recognizing that US government customers have an increasing need for the most advanced and highly agile commercial technologies, the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Central Security Service (CSS) launched the Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) Program. A key aspect of the CSfC program is the ability to deploy a security solution in months instead of years.
