  2. Outline • Goals of Physical Security • Perimeter and Building protection • Access Controls • Distributed Processing • Stand-alone Systems and Peripherals • Environment and Life Safety Controls • Tamper Resistance

  3. Goals of Physical Security • Prevent unauthorized access to equipment, installations, material, and documents • Safeguard against espionage, sabotage, damage, and theft • Safeguard personnel

  4. Perimeter Protection • Standoff distance • The maintained distance between where a vehicle bomb is allowed and the target • Exclusive Standoff Zone • Vehicles are not allowed within perimeter unless they have been searched and cleared • Nonexclusive Standoff Zone • Established when a facility or location permits a mixture of trucks and cars. • Includes inner and outer perimeters

  5. Perimeter Protection

  6. Perimeter Protection • Speed Control • Controls the speed of vehicles used for bombs

  7. Perimeter Protection • Vehicle barriers

  8. Perimeter Protection • Perimeters should also protect against Standoff weapons such as riffles, shot guns, pistols • Primary defense is to obstruct Line Of Sight (LOS) from vantage point outside the site • Use a Predetonation Screen

  9. Perimeter Protection

  10. Perimeter Protection • Surveillance • aggressors remain outside of controlled areas and try to gather information from within those areas • Designers must eliminateor control vantagepoints from which aggressors can surveil or eavesdrop on assets or operations. • Trees, bushes, fences, other buildings etc

  11. Perimeter Protection

  12. Perimeter Protection • Lighting • Discourage or deter attempts at entry by intruders. • Prevent glare that may temporarily blind the guards. • Different types • Continuous, standby, movable • Different applications • Entrances, Parking areas, Critical areas • Staffing • Security Guards • Patrols • Dogs

  13. Building Protection • A Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) is an accredited area, room, group of rooms, buildings, or installation where Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) may be stored, used, discussed, and/or processed • We now focus on construction requirements of a SCIF

  14. Building Protection • Vault Specifications

  15. Building Protection • Vault Specification (cont) • minimum compressive strength of 3000 psi after 28 days of aging for class A • 5/8-inch diameter steel rein- forcing bars laid 6 inches on centers • In seismic areas, 6-inch or thicker RC will be used.

  16. Building Protection • Walls • The walls will be of either reinforced concrete in excess of four inches thick or solid masonry (stone or brick) in excess of eight inches thick • Floors • The floor and ceiling selected for a Secure Area will be at least a four inch thickness of concrete

  17. Building Protection • Entrances • A Secure Area will be equipped with a GSA Class 6 vault door • Windows • It is preferable that Secure Area be windowless . Accessible windows, where required, will be secured with bars, installed as specified in the requirements

  18. Building Protection • Barred Window Specifications for SCIF • Type of Installation • Type A: Requires a steel frame with steel bars welded on it to be bolted to the inside of the facility window frame • Type B: Requires imbedding the ends of steel bars in the masonry window frame of the facility • Type C: Requires a grillwork of steel bars to be imbedded in the masonry walls immediately adjacent to the facility window frame

  19. Building Protection • Sound Attenuation for SCIF • The SCIF walls, windows, floor and ceiling, including all openings, should provide sufficient sound attenuation to preclude inadvertent disclosure of conversation • Must meet the following SCT: • Executive Suite       45+ • Briefing Rooms 45+ • Auditoriums 50+

  20. Building Protection • Telephone Security for SCIF • Telephone cables and wires which penetrate a facility's perimeter will enter the facility through one opening and be placed under control at the interior face of the perimeter • The number of telephone instruments servicing a SCIF will be limited to those operationally necessary

  21. Interior Intrusion Detection Systems • Structural vibration sensors • Detects energy due to hammering, drilling, etc • Point sensors • Detects close proximity to an object. • Passive ultrasonic sensors • detect acoustical energy • Volumetric Motion sensors • Detects intruder motion within the interior of a protected volume

  22. Exterior Intrusion Detection Systems • Fence sensors • Detects penetration generated by mechanical vibrations and stresses in fence fabric and posts • LOS sensors • generate a beam of energy and detect changes in the received energy that an intruder causes by penetrating the beam.

  23. Alarms • Requirements • perimeter doors will be equipped with high security balanced magnetic door switches. • Vault doors will be equipped with heat detectors and balanced magnetic switches. • The interior spaces not continually occupied by authorized personnel will be protected by motion detection alarms. • vents and ducts over six inches will be alarmed. • Windows less than 18 feet from ground level will be alarmed

  24. Alarms • Types • Motion alarm detectors • Overt body motion walking through the protected areas at the rate of one step per second for four seconds, in areas protected by ultrasonic, microwave, and other motion detection devices • Door Switches • Actual opening of doors (or windows or other openings using door switches) which are protected by balanced magnetic door switches.

  25. Alarms • Types (cont) • Capacitance Alarms • Attempts to push hands, arm, or legs through the protected area (air ducts or vents); to touch an item being protected (door, window, wall, etc.); or to move protected objects (security containers). • Tamper Switches • Removal of the covers for sensors, alarm control units, day/night switches, and end of the line supervision control units should cause an alarm regardless of the status of the overall system

  26. Physical Access Control • Designate restricted area: Facilitates enforcement

  27. Physical Access Control • Locks • Preset Locks and Keys • Typical door looks • Programmable Locks • Mechanical (Cipher Locks) • Electronic (Keypad Systems): Digital Keyboard • Number of Combinations • Number of Digits in Code • Frequency of Code Change

  28. Physical Access Control • Cards • Photo-ID cards • Wireless Proximity readers • Magnetic Strip cards • Smart Cards • Often Require Use of PIN Number with Card • Readers: Card Insertion, Card Swipe & Proximity

  29. Physical Access Control • DOD Smart Cards (Common Access Cards)

  30. Physical Access Control • Biometric Devices • Fingerprint/Thumbprint Scan • Retina Scan • Hand Geometry • Facial Recognition • Voice Verification • Problems • Cost • Speed • Accuracy

  31. Physical Access Control • Typical verification times for entry-control devices

  32. Physical Access Control • Visitor identification and control • Visitors, Cleaning teams, Civilians in work areas after normal work hours, Government contractors • Personnel • Position Sensitivity Designation • Management Review of Access Lists • Background Screening/Re-Screening • Termination/Transfer Controls • Disgruntled Employees

  37. Stand-alone Systems and Peripherals • PC Physical Control (cont) • Switch Controls • A cover for the on/off switch, which prevents a user from switching off the file server’s power • Peripheral switch controls • Lockable switches that prevent a keyboard from being used • Electronic Security Boards • Boards inserted into an expansion slot in the PC and force a user to enter a password when the unit is booted

  38. Environment and Life safety Controls • Environment considerations to physical security include the following • Electric Power • RFI, EMI • Implement TEMPEST • Humidity • Humidity of < 40% increases static elec. Damage potential • Emergency power off controls • Voltage monitoring/recording • Surge protection

  42. Information System Centers • Site selection • Low visibility • Low natural disaster threat • Easy access to external services such as police, fire, hospitals, etc

  43. Information System Centers • Infrastructure • Servers, switches, routers, should be placed in looked racks and looked rooms • Wiring and cables should be routed through walls, floors, etc to avoid tampering • Uninterrupted power supply should exist for computing facility

  44. Tamper Resistance • A device is said to be tamper-resistant if it is difficult to modify or subvert, even for an assailant who has physical access to the system. • Specialized materials used to make tampering difficult • One-way screws, epoxy encapsulation, trox • Closely tied to tamper detection and response

  45. Tamper Detection • The ability of a device to sense that it is under physical attack and includes • Switches to detect opening of device covers • Sensors to detect changes in light or pressure within the device • Barrier to detect drilling or penetration of physical boundary • Paint

  46. Tamper Response • Tamper Response is the counter measure taken upon the detection of tampering • Ex.: Erase memory, shutdown/disable device, enable logging • This is especially very important in the case of cryptographic keys stolen or lost • This is especially very important in the case of cryptographic keys stolen or lost • Computational errors introduced into a smart card can deduce the values of cryptographic keys hidden in the smart card • layers of a chip can be uncovered by etching, discerning chip behavior by advanced infrared probing, and reverse-engineering chip logic

  47. OPSEC • Operations security (OPSEC) is an analytic process used to deny an adversary information - generally unclassified • Trains people on the handling of information • We can apply OPSEC in our daily lives • “What could an adversary glean from the knowledge of this activity?”
