ABSTRACT
All automated information systems (AIS) used on Department of Defense (DoD)
data networks must register the data communication modes identifying the ports, protocols,
and application services (PPS) used, and the network boundaries crossed.
Compliance with the PPS requirements will reduce development time and cost, increase
security, speed certification and accreditation steps, enhance AIS interoperability across
the department, and speed operational deployment of all new and updated AIS in
DoD. This article introduces the PPS basic concepts, and demonstrates how developers
and program managers can comply with the PPS requirements, leverage the security
analysis provided by the management office, and obtain the benefits listed.
