Secure Messaging and Directory S

Secure Messaging and Directory Services

Various Federal Agencies require state-of-the-art messaging solutions that use COTS products to replace legacy or older electronic mail systems. These newer systems must meet unique agency requirements while providing a secure, business grade messaging capability (i.e. timely, guaranteed delivery; precedence and priority handling; confidentiality; authentication; non-repudiation; etc.). A central repository, embodied in one of various directory products used to store and exchange messaging and security information such as certificates, addresses, and user capabilities, is also required when providing a fully integrated solution. Interoperability between Government and Commercial sectors, as well as among the various Government agencies, is critical.

The Van Dyke Technology Group (VDTG) provides expert services in the requirements definition, architecture design/development, security integration, and implementation planning for enterprise-wide messaging systems - particularly those employed within the Federal workspace.

VDTG engineers defined the architecture for the IC’s secure messaging and directory services, and continue in its implementation.

VDTG engineers address traditional messaging capabilities, but also consider emerging capabilities, such as web based technology, instant messaging, XML transfer, and middleware messaging protocols.

VDTG personnel continue to participate in the standards and prototype development of secure, business grade, messaging and directory components.

VDTG has the knowledge to architect internal organizational messaging and directory solutions as well as large, enterprise infrastructure solutions.

VDTG is expert at transitioning legacy systems to state-of-the-art, secure, messaging and directory technologies.

VDTG engineers have been specifically instrumental in the evolution and development of the Defense Message System, supporting organizations within DoD and the Intelligence Community.

VDTG engineers continue to play the principle role in the development of DMS within the Intelligence Community (IC)
