Insider tamper detection; Alarm communications
- Facility Systems Engineering Div., Sandia National Lab., Albuquerque, NM (US)
There are many areas within our security systems where an insider can tamper with the components of the system and cause a deficiency. A survey conducted of some DOE facilities identified several types of deficiencies associated with the alarm communications system. The seriousness of these deficiencies depends to a large extent on the total security system. Sandia has initiated an effort to identify systems and concepts which appear promising for protection against insider tampering. An area of particular attention is in the development of techniques to increase the protection of information within the alarm communications system. In particular, techniques are being evaluated to provide enhanced line security (ELS) between the sensors and the multiplexers (MUX). A technique that appears to be particularly promising and which will be discussed in more detail in this paper utilizes modules at the sensors and MUXs.
