Develop Comprehensive Internet Security Plan

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.
