The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has developed a system architecture for establishing network communications between users having disparate encryption devices via standard Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). The SIP concept of presence is exploited to accomplish encryption device discovery, Plain Text Database (PTD) database exchange, device peering, and the establishment of encryption device policy associations.This domain discovery method allows any encryption device, be it typical U.S. government Type I encryption devices such as TACLANE, HAIPE, or FASTLANE, or any non-government cryptographic devices implementing this technology, to find peers and exchange PTD information. Additionally, SIP-DS allows one encryption device to proxy PTD information for other encryption devices unable to implement this method. This new method will not require a new IETF standard or any modification to existing IETF standards, nor are any specifically configured infrastructure or network devices required.
