Information Assurance and Crypto Modernization


With over 290 years of   combined experience in cryptographic capability development and cryptographic operations, WPL has strategic expertise working with MAJCOMs and COCOMs and other services for complex cryptographic key management and key architecture specification, design, implementation, and validation of strategic and tactical systems.

 

Bridging the gap between existing system design and the tenants of cryptographic modernization policy and implementation across Military Services, the veteran staff of WPL has existing, positive working relationships with community members including:

  • MILSATCOM Program Offices
  • Cryptographic System Program Offices
  • United States Strategic Command
  • Northern Command
  • National Security Agency
  • Cryptologic Systems Division
  • Air Force Network Integration Center

WPL is at the forefront of major technical efforts for the cryptographic modernization of some of the Nation's critical communications assets supporting our Military and Senior Leaders. WPL plays a key role in the redevelopment of the management and acquisition of cryptographic devices for the entire USAF.
