Chapter 1
OVERVIEW
This document describes how to use the CommPower CP-145 Gateway (CP-
145). The CP-145 is designed to run in the Windows 2008 R2 Server
operating environment and features user-friendly menus and dialogs that let
you configure, monitor, and control CP-145 operations.
1.1
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Throughout the world, e-mail based Military Messaging services have
become an integral component of a modern Defense Command and Control
infrastructure, providing the means through which commanders at all levels
can effectively and securely communicate orders, instructions, and strategies.
Unfortunately, true globalization of such services has not and probably
cannot be realized due to differences in national implementations and the
lack of a common end-to-end security policy. The CCEB (Combined
Communications Electronics Board) has recognized this shortcoming and in
response, has drafted a standard (CP-145) that details the requirements and
functions of a nation-to-nation Military Messaging Gateway based on
ACP123/X.400 technology and S/MIME-ESS security services. In turn,
CommPower has taken this standard from paper to practice with the
introduction of its CP-145 Gateway product.
The CP-145 Gateway consists of two subsystems, or "Elements", one for
handling JANAP-128 messages and one handling SMIME-ESS P772

ACP-145 Gateway User's Guide
1-2 /cpe/CP-145/usm/004 (07/14)
messages. The Local Element provides connectivity to a local JANAP-128
messaging host via a dedicated Mode I serial connection, whereas the
Foreign Element connects to the external network of the foreign nation.
Messages received/transmitted on each network interface are processed in
full per the security policy that governs the domain represented by the CP-
145 Element.
•Supported Security Standards: The security standards supported within
the Gateway include: S/MIME-ESS (Extended Security Services).
•Security Policy Definition: Security Policy Information Files (SPIFs) can
be created for each security domain that define the security policy in
effect and enforce access control. Multiple policies can be supported for
each security domain.
•Security Label Translation: User configurable Security Policy Translation
Tables (SPTTs) are used within the Gateway that defines the security
label translation rules between differing security policies. These tables are
loaded from a configurable location on disk.
Message flow within the Gateway between the discrete Elements is
accomplished via XML services that promote standardization, commerciality,
and extensibility within the product. Core features of the CP-145 include the
following:
•Virus Checking: Third party anti-virus products can be invoked by the
CP-145 to scan in-transit messages and their attachments for malicious
content.
•Message Services: As with all CommPower Military Messaging products,
the CP-145 offers full protection, accountability, and recovery for all
messages within the Gateway.
•Third Party Services: Third party capabilities such as profilers can be
installed "in line" to perform additional processing on the XML message
as it passes through the Gateway.
•Extensibility: Because of the Gateway's modular architecture, a host of
configurations can be realized to allow connectivity to one or more
nations, each with a separate security translation policy.
The CommPower CP-145 Gateway product was selected by the U.S.
Department of Defense as the sole provider of CP145 Gateway services for
its Defense Message System (DMS) program.
