(U) Project Description
(TSHSWNF) The SIGINT Enabling Project actively engages the US and foreign IT industries to covertly
influence and/or overtly leverage their commercial products” designs. These design changes make the systems
in question exploitable through SIGINT collection (¢.g., Endpoint, MidPoint, ctc.) with foreknowledge of the
modification. To the consumer and other adversaries, however, the systems’ security remains intact. In this
‘way, the SIGINT Enabling approach uses commercial technology and insight to manage the increasing cost and
lechnical challenges of discovering and successfully exploiting systems of interest within the ever-more integrated
‘and seeurity-focused global communications environment
(TSVSUREL TO USA, FVEY) This Project supports the Comprehensive National Cybersecurity
Initiative (CNCD by investing in corporate partnerships and providing new access to intelligence sources,
reducing collection and exploitation costs of existing sources’, and enabling expanded network operation and
intelligence exploitation to support nctwork defense and cyber situational awareness. This Project contains the
SIGINT Enabling Sub-Project.
(U) Base resources in this project are used to:
+ (TS/SU/REL TO USA, FVEY) Insert vulnerabilities into commercial encryption systems, IT systems,
networks, and endpoint communications devices used by targets.
(TSI/SU/REL TO USA, FVEY) Collect target network data and metadata via cooperative network carriers
‘and/or increased control over core networks.
+ (TS/SU/RELTO USA, FVEY) Leverage commercial capabilities to remotely deliver or receive information
to and from target endpoints.
+ (TS/SW/REL TO USA, FVEY) Exploit foreign trusted computing platforms and technologies.
+ (TS//SVIREL TO USA, FVEY) Influence policies, standards and specification for commercial public key
technologies.
+ (TS/#SU/REL TO USA, FVEY) Make specific and aggressive investments to facilitate the development of
a robust exploitation capability against Next-Generation Wireless (NGW) communications.
+ (U//FOUO) Maintain understanding of commercial business and technology trends.
+ (UHPOUO) Procure products for internal evaluation.
‘+ (U/FOUO) Partner with industry and/or government agencies in developing technologies of strategic
interest 10 NSA/CSS.

+ (TSI/SWIREL TO USA, FVEY) Support the SIGINT exploitation of NGW, a MIPINIP collective
investment. This request reflects only the NIP portion ofthe program. Refer to MIP NSA volume for details
fon MIP related activities.
+ (TS/ISWREL TO USA, FVEY) Provide for continued partnerships with major telecommunications carriers
to shape the global network to benefit other collection accesses and allow the continuation of partnering with
commercial Managed Security Service Providers and threat researchers, doing threat/vulnerability analysis,

advanced cryptanalytic capabilities being developed by NSA/CSS. {CCP_00090]
(U) Changes From FY 2012 to FY 2013:
(SINE) SIGINT Enabling: -§20.4 million (-$20.4 Base), -2
the result of:
lian positions, The aggregate decrease is
+ (U) Increase
— (CTSISW/NF) $5.6 million reflects additional level of investment in enabling exploitation capabilities
against NGW mobile and data networks.
— (TS//SVINF) $4.1 million enables additional support to Endpoint operations. Support to this mission
area requires SIGINT Enabling to invest in new infrastructure and capabilities with commercial
partners.
— (S//NF) $0.4 million in civilian pay and benefits,
18 ‘TOP SECRETISUTKINOFORNTOP SECRETISITKINOFORN
— (S/INF) $0.3 million due to revised economic assumptions.
+ (U) Decreases:
= (TS/ISUINF) $20.8 million of contractor reductions to fund priority Community investments, which
impacts the ability to sustain and expand activities directly supporting cyber informational needs.
— (TSI/SUINF) Decrease of $10.0 million in support of deficit reduction efforts, which reduces
effectiveness of accesses supporting intelligence collection and Endpoint operations.
— (TS/ISVINF) Two civilian positions reduces development of strategic capabilities enabling
‘cryptographic exploitation of target communications to advance NSA/CSS' missions
