BCIS Initial Draft MFP
20 June 98

BCIS is not classified. The BCIS Classification Guide is FOUO and is not attached. However, the following information from the Classification Guide is provided in this section of the MFP for attention:

"When National Security Agency (NSA) approved encryption is used, the classification shall be provided by NSA. When the encryption Key(s) reside in memory on the Red Processor Circuit Card Assembly (CCA) (Part Number 725792-801), the Red Processor CCA and the J-6437(C)/U Communication Equipment Interface Unit (Part Number 902308-801), become classified to the classification level of the encryption being used. The Red Processor CCA and the J-6437(C)/U become declassified, but remain a Controlled Cryptographic Item (CCI) once the encryption keys are properly zeroized. All documents describing the encryption routines and keys shall be marked IAW the classification guidance provided by NSA."
