10. Develop a comprehensive Internet security plan. The existing interagency team, the Federal Networking Council, chaired by the National Science Foundation (NSF), should, in consultation with NIST and OMB, develop and promulgate a Federal Internet Umbrella Security Plan, by November 1994, for interconnecting the federal IT community with appropriate state, local, commercial, public and private, and foreign government activities. Such a global architecture should allow for security differences between networks. Use of layered protocol standards and techniques can be employed with a range or set of security service standards with appropriate gateway protection devices so that small restricted communities and large open communities can safely interoperate. The security architecture should identify, as a minimum, the grades of services offered, how each is implemented and assured, how interconnections between networks should be made, and what can be done for those users not adequately served by any of the agreed-upon standard grades of service.
