[CCSDS Rapporteur]

Control Number: PRP 12-04

The following draft CCSDS Recommended Standard has been placed on 
line for CCSDS Agency review:

        CCSDS 355.0-R-2.  Space Data Link Security Protocol.
                          Red Book.  February 2012.

DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION:  This draft Recommended Standard specifies a 
security protocol for CCSDS data links.  The protocol provides a 
security header and trailer along with associated procedures that may 
be used with the CCSDS Telemetry, Telecommand, and Advanced Orbiting 
Systems Space Data Link Protocols to provide a structured method for 
applying data authentication and/or data confidentiality at the Data 
Link layer.  The current draft reflects changes made in response to 
comments received during review of the original issue.

The due date for receipt of review comments by the Review Coordinator 
is 2012-4-16.  Area Directors and WG/BOF Chairs may submit review 
comments directly to the CCSDS Review Coordinator.  More information 
is available at the Web site identified below.
