Editor I 86-36 DOCID 4009704 A LETTER OF INTRODUCTION This is CRYPTOLOG -- a new vehicle for the interchange of ideas on technical subjects in Operations Operations is a large organization the skills and talents on which we depend are many our workings widely scattered and often sequestered in compartments These conditions argue for special efforts to keep us in touch with each other and with new problems as they arise and new solutions as they are developed In the past this need has been partially met by a number of small specialized magazines some keyed to a given sector of Operations as Dragonseeds to B Group Keyword to G and some to subject matter as QRL to language and Command to traffic analysis and special research Not all areas and disciplines were thus represented however and distribution of the existing vehicles was limited It is to improve this situation that CRYPTOLOG combining the resources'of the above-mentioned vehicles has been established I count on it to provide all the good effec ts of its predecessor pUblications plus additional ones As a monthly it can be more responsive than the quarterlies and bi-monthlies it replaces Because it is Operations-wide it can embrace all ou disciplines and address all our people Its classification up to and including Top Secret Codeword permits discussion of very specific subjects in the cryptologic sphere and its level of informal exchange invites short articles and letters on any subject To be successful CRYPTOLOG must reflect current operational topics in a way that interests you and others I hope that you will want to read it and will help to write it c it Deputy Director Operations NSA CSS Aug 74 11 CRYPI'OLOG 11 Page I DOCID 4009704 WHeO jEC OR I byl If you have looked I at the masthead of this magazine you will have seen that the various members of the editorial board represent different disciplines When seen in life nobody has trouble distinguishing among these disciplines everyone knows that traffic analysts are clear-eyed clean-limbed people who draw meticulously neat--if arcane-squares and circles on paper and that cryppies are two-headed people who tend to twitch The machine people are those pale ones who inhabit like troglodytes the bowels of the basement Collectors are--uh--aren't they the can-clangers who come around three times a week with a truck Collectors are a stran e breed Outside of the National Security Agency and a few other agencies with which we deal it would be a hopeless undertaking to try to explain them It will not be easy explaining them to people who should know Personnel assigned to NSA in billets identified with a Career Occupational Specialty Code in the 1600 series are collectors That is one way to identify them but not a very effective way Agency employees don't have their COSC's stamped on their foreheads Let's look at this another way What do collectors do Well you know those pieces of-traffic that traffic analysts analyze They were collected by collectors In fact a number of collectors working in concert got the analyst his piece of traffic Somebody downtown decided that we could not go another minute without finding out what the Zendian Army's 279th underground Balloon Battalion was up to Then somebody important in NSA in VS as a matter of fact agreed that this was a valid requirement translated this demand into NSA-ese and tasked one of presumably the appropriate elements in DOO WIle translated the task becomes Find out what the 279th underground Balloon Battalion of the Zendian Army is up to Actually by this time it will be known as the 279th UBB and as it is a pronounceable acronym it will be pronounced l Aug 74 'I tt The neophyte who has to ask ''What's UBB may receive a polite if patronizing explanation More likely however the response will be ''Not JI1Uch what I s ubb with you Enter the first collector the collection manager in the office of primary concern--in this case whichever office is responsible for Zendia He will say something like Gee whi z 2 I already have 47 cases on each position I own and the bottom 4S in the priorder don't get heard now The cases are listed in priority order and having too many cases on too few positions is a chronic problem To assign this new task in such a way that it may have a chance of being heard he may take his entire mission apart shuffle it around and rewrite every assignment He has a good idea of what may be heard where what kind of equipment he needs to do which jobs at which sites what book of rules he has to consult to render a simple requirement incomprehensible to anybody who doesn't own a copy of the same book of rules and what he has available to do the job with Additionally it serves him well to know what other managers have and what they need in case a trade is necessary Finally he has to know where he can get help if he has to have it in order to satisfy the requirement After the details are worked out and the task is converted to a Collection Control Message CONMSG or a Signals Collection Objectives List SCOL or whatever happens to be currently fashionable it goes to the site or sites where the actual collection will take place Another collector receives the task and tries to translate it back to English His title may vary from station to tation service to service but his function is to manage the collection resources at his station He is intimately aware of the capabilities in his station he knows what talent is available what conditions his resources are in where he can cram the mission in--specific instructions from the manager at NSA notwithstanding--and often what rules he has to break or instructions he has to ignore in order to get the job done Incidentally we at Fort Meade have absolutely no idea that he is breaking rules or ignoring instructions in order to get the traffic to us--as long as he gets it to us CRYPTOLOG 'I Page 2 P L 86-36 DOCID 4009704 IWffihE ' rA CElfiIHft'

last in the list of characteristics and it all too often comes last to mind if it surfaces at all--documentation Yet it is an integral part of the professional and scientific effort in cryptanalysis as in any other technical discipline You the manager should expect that the procedures and results will be put on the record Does at least the group leader keep a techmcal diary Does your group report in writing Does it publish technical reports Does it think that only successes are reportable Does it report for the record procedures developed or adapted with information on the material the procedures were applied to and the outcome of the application failure or success in whole or in part Are the reports well written Can you understand them or at least grasp the essentials of what was done and why Do the reports published by your crypt group provoke questions suggestions refutations visits or telephone calls from other cryptanalysts or other crypt organizations Having looked at the effort let's consider the individual The same features that mark the good crypt effort mark the activities of the good cryptanalyst Only the scale is smaller and the personal attributes of the individuals vary from one to another Aside from the specific training and experience one would need for your problem there are some generalities about the professional cryptanalyst not necessarily so certified by the Career Pane relate what he-learns to the problem he is dealing with He can tell you what he is doing and why and he wants to He keeps on working and never completely abandons hope of eventual success but he knows when the law of diminishing returns becomes operative and is willing to call a halt He documents what he has done and what he thinks ought to be done if the propitious time ever arrives He prepares for the future-his own and the problem's To judge the cryptanalyst and his work the non-cryptanalyst manager should look for knowledge and conunitment to goals both organizational and personal for thoroughness for documentation of work and outcome for order in materials and methods The questions to ask are really the same as for judging the whole effort In addition look for initiative imagination innovation and enthusiasm tempered by practical good judgment about potential results Beware the pitfall of judging the capability and performance of the individual primarily on the basis of the number of systems solved or messages read--there are all kinds of systems and all kinds of messages The documentation of the crypt effort of whatever size can give you insight into both the group's and the individual's operations Technical reports published and unpublished formal or informal can help you evaluate the effort its directions and its prospects

LBY E12 by W e n things or situations or the contexts in which they exist change but our words for them do not it may be some time before we perceive the disparity between our understanding of the words and the reality they represent Such a disparity appears to be affecting names for certain SIGINT reporting vehicles Take the tem electrigram The word was invented in the mid-1960's to distinguish between reports of current events issued electrically soon after the events happened or could be recognized and routine recurring reports such as daily and other sumnaries which were issued electrically Instructions celebrated the newness of the tem by showing it in caps ELECfRIGRAM It soon acquired the nickname E-GRAM and eventually tended to lose its majuscule status It was defined as a vehicle for publishing information t t does not eet the criteria for SPOT Report1Ug but whIch IS of significance and or urgency requiring electrical dissemination Distribution instructions brought out a further distinction in that electri rams unlike sots were not Thus the meaning of the tem was clearly defined and it made sense in the context of SIGINT reporting--until a year or two ago But changes resulting from aIOOng other things automation security and economy have alter the context situation Now for example many reports are issued electrically which fomerly would have been issued in hard copy only These may be reports of information a week a month or six months or more old information not exploitable when current or not useful or recognized as useful at the time or of limited priority but still reportable The question now arises When such a report is issued is it an electrigram The problem is not as trivial as it may seem People need to understand what words mean and there l1IUSt be corraron understanding of terms and their significance between writer and reader because that means common understanding between analyst reporter and user Aug 74 Consider the spot report Some reporting units and some instructions have set time limits of 30 minutes or even 15 minutes from time of recognition of spot information to time of release But urgent and i mportant information may be quite complex It may require extensive processing and analysis If it takes a day or two or npre for processing coordination and rel ase but l1IUSt go to a spot distribution because of content is it still a spot Instructions define spot report information as highly significant perishable SIGINT and require that spot reports be labeled as such They also iTequire a precedence of PRIORIlY or higher But current telecommunications system regulation s call for a maximum handling time for PRIORIlY precedence of three hours so what is the point of a 3D-minute reporting requirement At present Spring 1974 with the degree of automation achieved over the past two years average system handling time for PRIORIlY is about seven minutes but actual delivery time for both ROlJfINE and PRIORIlY is about two and a half hours for JM fEDIATE about one hour and for FLASH about 10 to 15 minutes Sometimes a brief summary of complicated facts can be issued as a spot with the details in a follow up and this may be a useful device for getting out urgent but complex information It is less useful for information less urgent but still requiring spot distribution since it means that readers l1IUSt refer to two doCt Dnents instead of one to get the story Because of distribution requirements there has been a tendency lately to put a SPOT REPORT label on i terns which do not meet the definition of spot as urgent and perishable but may even be wrap-ups or periodic surrrnaries of a continuing situation A pUZZled user who was asked recently about a rather relaxed reaction to information in a spot report responded plaintively But we don't know what a spot report is Is it any wonder And so a process of rethinking and redefining is now

'OSSary defined COl_L C T ng P 'iS l1- is as a lection of terms limited to a special area of knowledge it derives from the Latin glossa which refers to an unusual word requiring explanation Since the SIGINT business includes several such areas each of which makes use of many such words and since its successful pursuit depends on the ability of its organizational elements to intercommunicate with precise understanding of meaning SIGINT glossaries are a definite and practical necessity Nevertheless only during the past year has there been a formally directed PROD effort under USSID 412 to develop and publish a complete authoritative and official glossary for each of the special technical fields peculiar to SIGINT coordinated with and agreed upon by all using operational elements and in some instances second parties Earlier some glossaries both specialized and general had been published but with one exception without having undergone a rigorous developmental treatment throughout Operations and without having acquired second-party agreement These included a general glossary prepared by the U S Army Security Agency in 947 a traffic analysis glossary published by NSA in 1954 NSA Interim Report #168-54 a glossary contained in the aadio Traffic Analysis Manuals of 1955 and 1964 and in three editions the Basic Cryptologic Glossary the latest dated June 1971 The exception referred to above is the Combined Glossary of Traffic Analysis Terminology published in January 1958 by NSA which was thoroughly coordinated throughout PROD and with second parties the latter indicated by the term Combined After the Combined Glossary was issued a decision was made that no further glossaries would be published by PROD--that hereafter they would e the responsibility of the then Office of Training As one result PROD personnel who had been concerned with the Combined Glossary and who had intended to keep it updated were discouraged from so doing Finally in 1964 the inclusive glossary called the Basic Cryptologic Glossary It included some terms used in traffic analytics but it did not adequately or accurately fulfill PROD needs--many TA terms were omitted and some were changed from the 1958 Combined Glossary without proper coordination either with NSA elements which were operationally concerned or with second parties Also the Combined Glossary contained Codeword information while the Basic Cryptologic Glossary was limited to Confidential material Thus two glossaries containing differing terminology and spelling were extant leading the British to comment that only NSA could afford the luxury of two glossaries and along with most of the knowledgeable NSA traffic analysts to continue to use the Combined Glossary while ignoring the 1964 publication at least with regard to TA terms Later editions of the Basic Cryptologic Glossary evidenced no significant improvement as far as TA was concerned as there was little input from and no formal coordination with NSA operational personnel and second parties In recognition of the somewhat confused glo sary situation and the need for the development of definitive and authoritative terminology not only for traffic analysis but for the other SIGINT disciplines USSID 412 SIGINT Terminology was promulgated on 1 February 1973 This USSID established the program for standardizing terminology used throughout the U S SIGINT System to direct manage and support SIGINT operations As part of the program terminology panels are authorized to be established to develop standard definitions for terms required in the specialized areas of SIGINT operation The USSID also designates the NSA Data Standards Center NDSC as having overall responsibility for the issuance of the respective glossaries and makes it responsible for maintaining a complete SIGINT Terminology Data Base and for making the base in the form of machine printouts Aug 74 CRYPTOLOG Page 8 IWiBhE VfA

been unable to get it Perhaps this list of data so urgently needed contained ele- ments of variable length such as plaintext words and the sort sequence desired was not the standard left-to-right ordering of data Does that sound familiar I have heard of instances wherein a right-to-left word sort of data was needed--plaintext or decrypted message endings etc --but the computer support personnel assigned weren't sufficiently experienced in using sort routines to provide them in the fonn needed The problem at first glance seems to be that most computers only compare strings of data in a left-to-right direction But upon closer scrutiny we see that a left-to-right comparison of the words within the data strings is what we want The real problem is that we have to use sort routines designed for comparing fixed-length sort fields to sort variable-length data elements words appearing at variable positions within the data stream For the novice progranuner this may be such a fonnidable task that he may convince himself and you that it cannot be done and leave you to waste many frustrating hours using an analytic tool that is not what you really need One simple solution to this problem is to generate a special fixed-length sort key for each data record that is to be sorted This can be done by allocating a data field equal to a fixed maximum-word-size times the ntunber of words wide the data is to be sorted Sufficient textual words are then isolated padded with blanks and loaded in left-to-right major-to-minor sort order into this key field Each of these special sort keys is then either appended to the record from which it was derived or tagged with the location of the record from which it was derived for use in a tag sort routine Mter normal sorting using this special sort key the original record is printed unaltered for the user As an example of how this is done assume we have the following message endings and the sort desired is on the last five words with major sort on the last word and minor sort on each succeeding one to the left for up to five words 001 STOP COLONEL JOHN BROWN CCMfANDING 002 RETURN AT ONCE STOP BROWN 003 REPLY AT ONCE

basic strategy is adopted the IJD lltitude of methods for scanning the text for word separators and moving single words into fixed-length fields to generate sort key IS limited only by the characteristics of the particular progranuning language beIng used and the ingenuity of the programmer involved Generating this sort-key is not trivial matt r especially using certain programming

If-paced instruction SPI-sometimes called programmed instruction self study cor respondence study and so on has been used at the National _ _II _ _- r Cryptologic School for some time and present planning calls for the amount of such instruction to increase greatly during the next few years Unfortunately few people are familiar with SPI in its new and improved form This article presents the answers to some basic questions on the subject lesson you ask for the test on that lesson The test checks to see whether you have indeed achieved those objectives If you pass tile test you go on to the next lesson i f not you go over your mistakes with the instructor and do whatever remedial work he suggests Then when you feel you are ready you retake the test If you pass this time your record shows only that you have successfully completed that lesson and you now pro ceed to the next When you have completed all the packages you take a final test for the course and you're done What is SPI What is SPI not SPI as used by the National Cryptologic School means a set of ordered instructional lessons to be mastered by the student These lessons will combine written material with various kinds of media tapes slides filmstrips videotapes and computer programs Courses will be conducted in learning centers both at Fort Meade and at Friendship When you enroll in an SPI course you receive Lesson 'One which like every other lesson in the course starts with a list of terminal objectives telling you exactly what you are expected to learn during the lesson the conc litions under which you are to learn and the standards you are expected to meet In other words you are shown the test before you start the lesson If you wonder why we do it this way the answer is simple controlled studies show that students learn better knowing the objectives as opposed to the old-fashioned method of keeping them a secret until the end of the lesson After reading the terminal objectives you start to study the material The lesson is broken down into several sections Each section concludes with questions and exercises for you to do so that you may immediately practice what you have learned You proceed through the lesson at your own pace Don I t worry if you get stuck at some point a qualified instructor will be present at all times to answer any questions you may have When you feel you have mastered the material that is met the terminal objectives you read at the start of the T'nere are some cOJIDJlOn misconceptions about SPI The JIlOst cOJlllOOn is that you receive a course are sent to a dark corner and told to remain there until you have completed it Actually the course will be conducted in a learning center an area consisting of individual study areas called carrels where you sit while you study your text listen to a tape view slides etc The learning center is designed to be conducive to study and to make you feel comfortable You will not be alone other students will probably be using the learning center while you are there and of course the instructor will be there to help you as required You don't even have to work alone If you are part of a small group which wishes to proceed at a common pace that's fine Some people learn more quickly by themselves others prefer to be part of a group So work alone or together--the choice is yours Aug 74 11 A second misconception is that you can study whatever you want While some SPI courses offered at universities give students great latitude in choice of subject matter ours in NCS will not They will consist of a set of lessons which I1UlSt be completed in a specified order Therefore if you enroll in a course you must complete the specified program in order to get credit for it And a third is that SPI is a free ride for instructors Certainly SPI frees me as an instructor from lecturing but whereas in conventional teaching I conduct all my students CRYPTOLOG 11 Page 15 UNCLASSIFIED P L 86-36 DOCID 4009704 UNCLASSIFIED through a course at the same pace and can pre- time for these tasks As a matter of fact dict from experience many of the questions that these four actions describe my job in SPI will arise and get ready for them in SPI each Another advantage is interaction with the student may be at a different point in the course material Lectures are one-way streets course and even in different courses I'm I am the only active participant Except for going to have to be on my toes to handle every asking questions you remain pretty passive question that pops up SPI forces you to interact This is good because studies show you learn better when you do What's in it for students And if you are learning more efficiently I'm happier I've already mentioned some points but they are worth repeating The most important Finally as an instructor I will have the is self-pacing You're no longer locked into a time to develop the advanced and specialized fixed pace go faster or slower work alone or courses which are needed to meet the ever-changin a group work when you want and for as long ing technology of today as you want work at Fort Meade or Friendship it's your choice No longer will sick leave or What's in it for supervisors annual leave conflict with your study We hope eventually to have each lesson available in Yes there are advantages for you superseveral different media so you cali have your visors as well You no longer have to give up choice in that too You want to read today your personnel to a rigid class schedule You but listen or watch tOJOOITow SPI offers the can let them take an SPI course for a few hours a day- -at your convenience Even better you possibility of fulfilling all choices can expect them to finish the courses faster Another important advantage is that you Studies have shown that JOOst students work more always know where you stand In conventional courses the test usually comes too late to help quickly with SPI than in classroom courses A further economy is in travel time SPI courses You just get a bad grade and forge ahead without any remedial work on your weaknesses This are to be offered at both Fort Meade and FANX And whereas the fixed time limit of classroom doesn't help you but you are kept on schedule With SPI and its many checks and tests-- teaching sometimes forces the instructor to delete material ordinarily presented SPI courses which are often self-administered--your weak are of standard quality and every student is areas are spotted immediately and you do remedgiven the same material ial work to correct your deficiencies at once Only then do you proceed to new material SPI allows the Cryptologic School to help with the training of new personnel For example Have you ever been in a course and f01md some point which struck your fancy so that you a new worker in your office is tmfamiliar with wanted to follow it up This is often i mpossi- your type of operational problem Perhaps Lessons X Y and Z of

the ofnew problem fice can't spare you full-time or even halfRemember we are not interested in training time But you might have had two or three hours for the sake of training we want what you want available each day and with SP you could still have taken the course during thOse hours Re- to increase the efficiency of employees for their jobs member you set the pace Afraid the course will now take forever Forget it For most people those hour lectures become 15-20 minutes What's in it for the Agency in SPI In SUllDllary there is just greater flexSo far I've pointed out advantages SPI has

may strike a responsive chord in the souls of all those who have been are being or are about to be surveyed For considerable periods the four oboe players have nothing to do Their number should be reduced and the work spread more evenly over the whole of the concert thus eliminating peaks of activity All the 12 first violins were playing identical notes This is unnecessary duplication The staff of this section should be drastically cut If a large volume of sound is required it could be obtained by means of electronic amplifier apparatus Much effort was absorbed in the playing of semi-quavers This seems an excessive refinement It is recommended that all notes be rounded up to the nearest quaver If this were done it would be possible to use trainees and lower grad operatives more extensively There seems to be too much repetition of some musical passages Scores should be drastically pruned No useful purpose is served by repeating on the horns a passage which has already been played on the strings It is estimated that if all redundant passages were eliminated the whole concert time of the two hours could be reduced to 20 minutes and there would be no need for an intermission The conductor agrees generally with these recommendations but expresses the opinion that there might be some falling off in attendance In that unlikely event it should be possible to close sections of the auditorium entirely with a consequent saving of overhead expense lighting salaries for ushers etc From Hospitals March 1954 author unknown Report ine SymposlUI1l TO FROM ALL
