Abstract: An apparatus and method using a program protection engineering (P2E) toolkit to provide program protection engineering, security management, and report preparation for sensitive and classified projects. The P2E toolkit is an implementation of security policies, procedures, and methodologies associated with acquisition programs. Acquisition programs may range from large-scale classified systems for the government to sensitive corporate acquisition programs focusing on company proprietary or intellectual property issues. Specifically, the P2E toolkit provides end-to-end program protection engineering, security management, and report preparation for sensitive and classified programs throughout the program lifecycle, and assists security professionals and program managers to make appropriate decisions to protect their acquisition programs from compromise due to foreign intelligence threats or corporate/industrial espionage.

Abstract: A communication manager (10) for managing outgoing communications from a source (12) to a destination (14) includes a sequence receiver (24), a database interface (26) and a controller (28). The sequence receiver (24) receives a first destination sequence from the source (12). The database interface (26) interfaces with a first database (DB1) including a plurality of first database sequences and a second database (DB2) including a second database sequence. The controller (28) compares the first destination sequence to one or more of the first database sequences. The controller (28) selectively transmits the second database sequence to a communication carrier (18) or the source (12) depending upon whether the first destination sequence is substantially similar to one of the first database sequences, and whether the second database sequence is substantially similar to one of the first database sequences.
