Printed in the United States of America. Introduction The Type 2 Cryptographic Support Server (T2CSS) User's Manual includes an overview of the T2CSS system and instructions for installing, adminis- tering and operating the T2CSS through the Administrator's interface. The intended audience for this manual is the Administrator who has been delegated as the System/Security Administrator for the domain in which use of the T2CSS is intended. The instructions in this document assume the reader has some knowledge of Windows NT administration and the available tools. The administrator should have a basic understanding of the operating system, directory struc- ture, and typical Windows NT commands, as well as familiarity with the Graphical User Interface (GUI). Basic knowledge of the FORTEZZA card, its API, and its and library would be helpful; the documentation at http://www.armadillo.huntsville.al.us/Fortezza_docs/index.html is highly recommended. The hardware information in this manual applies to the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus architecture supported by the Windows NT operating system. Overview This section gives a basic overview of the T2CSS system and discusses the operating environment, use and problem reporting capabilities. 2.1 Operating Environment The T2CSS consists of a PCI board and host software designed to work on a Personal Computer (PC) platform. The system characteristics, operating sys- tem and T2CSS configuration related parameters are described below. System Characteristics: The following minimum requirements are recommended: Pentium II, 266 MHz or better 96MB RAM 4 GB hard drive SVGA graphics display controller Monitor Keyboard 33 MHz PCI slot (one per T2CSS board) Operating System: Windows NT 4.0 Server or Enterprise Server with service pack 3 or greater T2CSS Configuration Requirements: Primary memory 128KB (minimum) for the Windows NT driver 2-3 MB for T2CSS Application Hard Drive 18MB for T2CSS install image (not including Windows NT memory management) 144KB (maximum) per Virtual FORTEZZA Card containing 48 certificates (approximately 3KB per certificate); times the anticipated number of VFCs in the T2CSS 10MB (minimum) audit log file Note: 1. The total number of VFCs are dependent upon the user organization. 2. The size of the audit log file is dependent upon the audit settings and the number of errors occurring. If one or a few events are being monitored, the size of the audit log file will be smaller than if all events are being monitored. The audit log file will inevitably grow if the audit function is enabled because the T2CSS will typically operate continuously. So it is highly recommended that the Administrator review, archive (off the system) or purge audit log files regularly. Otherwise, the system performance will suffer, especially when Windows NT has contention for disk space. 2.2 System Use The T2CSS provides security services appropriate for protecting Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) data. The Virtual FORTEZZA Card and the T2CSS board are the operational elements used to perform the security processing. The T2CSS board is an intelligent PCI board that mounts directly into a 32- bit 33 MHz host bus expansion slot. The T2CSS PCI board contains eight cryptographic processors and a control processor. The control processor dis- tributes the data between the host and the cryptographic processors. The T2CSS provides confidentiality, data integrity, digital signature, key management, and auditing. The encryption, hashing a…
