The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has issued a sole-source contract award to L-3 Communications’ Communication Systems-East (L-3 CS-East) division in Camden, N.J., for 250 of its Talon (KOV-26) in-line network encryptors.
The Talon secures internet-protocol (IP) data transmissions, and has been certified by the National Security Agency (NSA) for Type 1 communications. The Talon PCMCIA-form-factor encryptor secures a user’s data, up to a level of top secret/sensitive compartmented information (TS/SCI) using a protocol compatible with the high-assurance IP encryption interoperability specification (HAIPE IS).
