RAPID RESPONSE
IS EVERYTHING
From the office space, to the battle space - digital is a huge part of our daily lives. The amount of mission-critical data and information we store and exchange is ever-increasing, and getting harder to protect as a result. While it is vital our digital platforms and networks ensure our sensitive information remains secure through resilient encryption methods, this can often come at the expense of our ability to adapt and respond swiftly to new and emerging threats.
Although the defence industry is gradually moving towards a more digital approach in its operations, the way in which we distribute our key material remains incredibly manual. Creation, delivery, storage and management of physical materials is a huge burden in today's digital world.
The time, money and risk taken to produce, deliver and install physical key material makes it difficult and extremely costly to remain agile when faced with emerging threats.
Multiply that across the thousands of deployed devices requiring re-keying on an annual basis for the UK alone and it is clear things need to change.
In today's fast-paced digital world - rapid response is everything.
"Digital is fundamental to how defence needs to respond to the disruptive world. Digital will be at the heart of the wider transformation of defence."
- Charles Forte, Ministry of Defence
SWIFT KEY TECHNOLOGY
For decades L3Harris has provided government-grade encryption to our customers and partners through our robust and reliable CATAPAN solutions and services. Built upon the same renowned principles, CATAPAN Swift Key Technology is a new capability that modernises key delivery and management across the wider mission.
CATAPAN Swift Key Technology keeps pace with emerging threats while improving operational agility and resilience. Using symmetric key transfer standards to enable over-the-network keying (OTNK) and enhanced key management, CATAPAN Swift Key Technology eliminates the need for incumbent sensitive hardware - reducing operational risk, reducing costs, and vastly improving mission agility.
Swift by name. Secure by nature.

RISK
From key creation through to delivery and management, risks such as loss, theft and compromise of sensitive information, or even risk to life, are far from ideal when operational resilience is at stake. With CATAPAN Swift Key Technology, physical key material is eliminated, and as a result so is much of that risk.

By digitising the nature of key material distribution, CATAPAN Swift Key Technology enables re-keying at a vastly improved scale and pace. From keying to annual re-keying, multiple devices can be deployed to in one swift action. Importantly, CATAPAN Swift Key Technology gives organisations the freedom to reinvest the time, money and personnel resources once used to distribute and manage physical materials into the tasks and operations that matter most.

Whether in times of conflict or in times of peace, any process to protect sensitive data must have confidentiality and integrity at its core. In today's fast-paced digital world, however, we must also consider keeping pace with not just the adversary, but the world in general.
CATAPAN Swift Key Technology is forward-thinking in its approach, enabling multi-domain integration via a secure digital backbone - a priority focus in helping to modernise the UK Armed Forces within the Government’s Integrated Review.

Physical key material encompasses many noticable burdens. From finding secure physical storage space and manual labour, to cumbersome logistics and the time taken to carry them out. CATAPAN Swift Key Technology eradicates these burdens since key material is delivered over-the-network at scale and at pace.
Key life-cycle:
Creation
Physical key material burden:
> Storage of discs, drives
> Manual labour
Swift key technology:
> No physical material = no burden
Delivery
> Must be couriered by personnel
> May travel thousands of miles
> Journey may take days
> Must deliver key to every unit
> Delivered over-the-network at scale
and at pace
Annual re-key
> Key delivery to every unit, every year
> Re-keying an entire fleet takes weeks
> Delivered over-the-network at scale
and at pace
Disposal
> Expired physical key material must be physically destroyed at the end of the year
> No physical material to destroy
SWIFT KEY TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION

Physical key material is costly. It must be physically delivered by specialised personnel. The cost of logistics in terms of delivering that material on an annual basis to every keyed device, is huge. CATAPAN Swift Key Technology eliminates that cost through over-the-network keying.
Key life-cycle:
Creation
Physical key material cost:
> Specialised personnel salary
> Physical material costs: CDs, drives
Swift key technology:
> Key generated automatically
> Key is non-physical - no materials
Delivery
> Specialised courier salary
> Taxis, flights; all return
> Hotels/accommodation if required
> OTNK= No courier required
> OTNK= No transport required
> OTNK= No accommodation required
Annual re-key
> As above
> OTNK= re-keying at scale and at pace
Disposal
> Expired physical key material must
be physically returned and destroyed
involving the same effort and
cost as delivery
> Cost is eliminated as there is no
physical material to return or destroy
Future technologies must strive to offer integration across the fleet. CATAPAN Swift Key Technology can be networked with other CATAPAN solutions enabling seamless integration.
Though this can technically happen with physically keyed devices, the ability to change or alter those networks once they are in place has huge physical impacts due to the requirement to re-key every device again. Network changes would require a considerable amount of planning well in advance costing time and money to action.
Since CATAPAN Swift Key Technology enables seamless integration across the fleet, keys are generated and distributed at scale and at pace, making network changes simple to facilitate.

In a world where being one step ahead of the threat is everything, CATAPAN Swift Key Technology enables vastly improved mission agility. Ensuring that sensitive information is locked away from those who may use it against us is critical to mission success. Should that data be at risk of compromise, re-keying devices via current methods is not agile and could take many weeks, during which users have to find a work-around.
CATAPAN Swift Key Technology can re-key devices across the fleet with ease ensuring swift action is taken.
