Course Description
All federal departments must ensure that appointed personnel possess the required knowledge to manage the operational use of key material assigned to a cryptonet. This online course introduces the basics of Communications Security (COMSEC), the roles and responsibilities of controlling authorities and cryptographic logistics and maintenance. Participants will learn to identify cryptonet key requirements and become familiar with the concepts required in the development of a Key Material Support Plan.

Second, the workshop component, delivered in a classroom setting, will focus on developing a Key Material Support Plan (KMSP).
