Abstract :
The CALS (Computer-aided Acquisition and Logistics Support) Data Protection and Integrity (DP&I) Industry Working Group (WG) has been addressing security issues associated with the CALS initiative. The group´s mission, structure, composition, activities, accomplishments, and future plans are described. The CALS initiative is a cooperative effort between the Department of Defense and industry to aid in the transition from the current weapon-procurement and logistics-support processes, which are paper intensive, to a more highly integrated mode of operation. The DP&I WG has played an important role in CALS security by identifying CALS security issues, assessing data protection technologies for possible use in CALS, commenting on the CALS Phase I documents, and cooperating in the development of a CALS DP&I policy
