TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a secure VOIP (VOIP) communication protocol over a mobile communications device, which is based on the Secure Communications Interoperability Protocol (SCIP).
Abstract: The present invention involves providing secure Voice Over IP (VOIP) communications to a mobile communications device. Specifically, the disclosed systems and methods enable a standard remote communications device (e.g., a cellular telephone) to utilize the Secure Communications Interoperability Protocol (SCIP) as designed by the U.S. Department of Defense. The invention provides SCIP access to users without requiring specific hardware configurations to be built into, or added to, the remote communications device. The remote communications device is equipped with software that emulates what was previously accomplished through a hardware configuration in order to facilitate secure VOIP communications over standard mobile communication devices.

TL;DR: Attention was drawn to various concepts and solutions of organization of communication systems in order to ensure the communication systems of the Armed Forces ready for the implementation of specific tasks.
Abstract: The importance of the CIS (Communications and Information System) for supporting the processes of command and management of components of the Armed Forces under the so-called special secure communications systems are discussed. Next, basic communication technologies used in telecommunications systems/networks are briefly characterized. NATO strategies for secure communication in networks were presented, and the importance and role of SCIP (Secure Communications Interoperability Protocol) for End-to-End communication by heterogeneous networks was discussed. Attention was drawn to various concepts and solutions of organization of communication systems in order to ensure the communication systems of the Armed Forces ready for the implementation of specific tasks.

TL;DR: This paper describes a solution framework for an NS/EP priority service to support CSfC-based secure mobile communications over LTE networks and is standards-based to facilitate implementation in public cellular networks.
Abstract: Legacy secure mobile communications systems based on Secure Communications Interoperability Protocol (SCIP) and 2G cellular networks are at end-of-life and are being replaced with National Security Agency (NSA) Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) over 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) cellular networks. A key challenge in this transition is that CSfC is incompatible with legacy wireless priority service (WPS) used to ensure that senior leaders and key personnel can communicate during National Security and Emergency Preparedness (NS/EP) events. This paper describes a solution framework for an NS/EP priority service to support CSfC-based secure mobile communications over LTE networks. The solution is standards-based to facilitate implementation in public cellular networks. End-to-end priority treatment is addressed across each major network segment, including (a) the LTE radio network, (b) the LTE core network, and (c) the wireline transport network. Priority in the LTE radio network is subdivided into access priority, admission priority, and scheduling priority. A bearer model with associated quality of service (QoS) is defined for priority treatment through the LTE core network. Priority is maintained across the wireline transport network using Diff-Serv Code Point (DSCP) packet markings. This solution may be used as a secure mobile addition to the NS/EP Next Generation Network Priority Services (NGN-PS) for LTE that are being specified by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Emergency Communications (OEC) for unclassified voice, video, and data services.
