(U//FOUO) D&D Awareness at NSA
FROM:
SID Intelligence Security Issues (S02L3)
Run Date: 07/13/2004
(U//FOUO) On Thursday 8 July, Dr. Larry Gershwin, NIO for Intelligence Assurance and
Chairman of the DCI Foreign Denial & Deception Committee (FDDC), presented an Executive
Denial & Deception Overview briefing in the Friedman Auditorium and received a SID coin from
SID Chief of Staff Charles Berlin at the meeting's close.
(S) Critique comments from Dr. Gershwin's presentation reiterated the importance of D&D in
daily analysis and stressed that D&D training should be provided to even the most junior
analysts. To increase NSA's D&D awareness, several classes are available to analysts to
enhance their D&D skills. Please look for the following D&D offerings through the National
Cryptologic School:
DENL 1011 - D&D Awareness Training (3 hrs.)
DENL 2111 - Adversarial D&D Analysis Course (40 hrs.)
DENL 3211 - Special Topics in D&D (4 hr. seminars)
(S) To further increase D&D awareness, we have made NSA's Countering D&D
Implementation Plan available on S02L3's Denial & Deception web page. If you are interested
in accessing it, the plan is posted on the web at:
and can be found under "Denial and Deception Plan" 2004 with the yellow key.
Because the document is currently only available in its NOFORN version, it is password
protected. Anyone requiring access must implement a process setting a password to retrieve the
document.
(S) To obtain a password, double click on "Request password for viewing NOFORN version of

for assistance.
(S) Please look over this Implementation Plan and see where you and your organization fit in
and can make a contribution. With your help, we can ensure that NSA not only protects its
SIGINT assets but can also counter any adversarial D&D attempt.
