Setting up the distribution facility

  1 The distribution facility will be connected to the International LRIT Data Exchange (IDE) using the available PKI infrastructure and will be configured within the LRIT Data Distribution Plan (DDP) as a Cooperative LRIT Data Centre (CDC). The security forces who are the users of this distribution facility will be entered into the DDP as Contracting Governments associated to the CDC. These associations are required in order to appropriately leverage the LRIT architecture and are not indicative of status in the LRIT system.

  2 The distribution facility will only have the capability to receive and temporarily store flag State LRIT information sent to it through the IDE, and will only need to receive and respond to System status and Receipt messages. There will be no journal kept within the distribution facility.

  3 The distribution facility will distribute in a secure manner (authenticated and encrypted) all received flag State LRIT information to the security forces in a format the Organization can send and the security forces can accept.

  4 Under no circumstances will the distribution facility archive any information received from flag States. In other words, the information received from flag States will be stored only as long as necessary in order to be received by the security forces, and will be destroyed immediately after it has been delivered to the appropriate security force(s).

  5 The distribution facility will not have the capability to present the flag State LRIT information in a graphical manner.
