How did they come up with the name Rukmini?But all that is in the future. Dedicated military satellites like Rukmini will help India keep real-time tabs over the rapidly-militarizing IOR, where China is increasingly expanding its strategic footprint, as well as on troop movements, missile silos, military installations and airbases across land borders.
The civilian sat Rohini is named after the nakshatra and not Vausdeva's wife Rohini the mother of Balarama.

Important point you both missed is the fact that they have asked for windows 7 professional and above. This does not mean they have asked for quotes for the windows surface tablet OS. They have asked for specific ruggedized tablet hardware.SKrishna wrote:God send opportunity for M$crosoft !!! Their Surface tablets are lying unsold in warehouses...

Windoes is good as long as Navy doesnt use the Tablet to connect to internet , Its an open secret that all Windoes have backdoor built in for the NSA to snoop into ..... so as long as Navy Personal uses the Tablet for purpose without connecting to internet it is fine.
Not to mention Windows OS is itself vulnerable to many forms of virus and worms compared to Linux or Android OS ...So not sure why they wouldnt use a tablet with Linux or Andriod OS or better use BOSS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bharat_Ope ... _Solutions )

Russia’s naval presence in the Bay of Bengal, which prevented a joint American-British strike on Indian cities, did not end after the 1971 war. Russian ships stayed on for two more years, clearing mines from the delta and recovering gold dumped in the sea by the Pakistanis.

GSAT-7 launch: Indian Navy will no longer depend on foreign satellites
With the successful launch of India's first 'military' satellite (GSAT-7) into the geosynchronous transfer orbit early Friday, Indian Navy will no longer depend on foreign satellites like Inmarsat, which provides communication services to its ships.
According to defence experts, the satellite will enable the navy to acquire Blue Water capabilities and it need not depend on foreign satellites, which provides communication services to its ships.
The spacecraft is equipped with transponders in Ku band, S band, C band and UHF (ultra high frequency) band to improve the maritime communications among the Indian Navy's warships.
"The satellite's solar panels were deployed soon after it was placed in the orbit for generating 2,900 watt power. Initial checks have indicated its health is normal," the ISRO statement noted.
Re: Indian Naval Discussion
I am not familiar with Windows tablet related issues, but I just do not see a problem here - the Forces use a different variant of OSs that is very localized and hardened. IN (all services?) should have IT depts. that would localize the OS.
Also:
If one recalls GoI had an issue when IIRC Blackberry wanted to start an encrypted email service (????) in India. It is the very same issue that the NSA faced that the GoI was trying to address.
A very similar issue popped up either is Saudi Arabia or one of those small nation states. I would think (and hope) ALL concerned nations with very serious threats would resort to such things.
The IN can very easily circumvent this feature if they so desire. It is done all the time in internal systems.
Do not want to get into any further, but there is nothing backdoor about it.
Also:
Nope. I suspect you picked up this from a few news reports. It is very unfortunate that some folks used the word "backdoor". It is NOT. Here are some other open secrets. NSA has been doing what they do for eons. This is related to encryption and exporters of software from the US have restrictions on encryption - this has been in place since I cannot even recall when. These restrictions are dictates from a variety of US gov organizations. NSA plays a very small role in that export matter.Its an open secret that allWindoesWindows have backdoor built in for the NSA to snoop into

US Government does not export encryption keys that NSA cannot decrypt.
Be that be the case , we can ensure our security by using OS like BOSS on any tablet that they want to buy ...that way we have full control over the source and updates/patches etc. It would be an effort but its worth the money.

* NSA related encryption topics have existed since Windows 95!!!!!
There is more to be written, but that should suffice.
And, I would not be concerned about Windows being used by the IN. I assume they would have a great IT dept.

Re: Indian Naval Discussion
VIna has put out some interesting facts about the services and comparative indigenisation efforts.However,the issue is not that simplistic.Tracing the development of our indigenous industry and the history of acquisitions for the armed forces is a doctoral thesis! There were so many factors involved ,mainly easier to import than to develop and build at home on time and within budget.
Perhaps some DRDO programmes should be treated as in the US as "X" (experimental) projects.Once they have matured,they then get inducted into the armed forces.If they fail,they get dumped.The US of course has a lot more money than we have.Today worldwide,nations are collaborating in major defence projects as they cannot independentally (barring the US and China for diff. reasons) afford the same or have to pool tech for the same.But certainly,the time is long past when the 3 service have to put their perspective plans into factoring in a far greater % of indigenous content,at least 75%,and getting embedded in these projects right from the start.The MOD must also, as has been done with the IN,give the services that element of leadership and freedom that they deserve in critical decision making,and not protect underperforming DPSUs ad nauseum,and attempting to shove down their half-baked products down the throats of the services.

The BSI published a clarification after websites reported about that Windows 8 warning
Basically, they pedalled back a bit. They now claim they never warned about Windows 8 itself, but about possible risks when combining Windows 8 with TPM 2.0, because the user no longer has complete control over his system and that because of that, the user could end up in a situation where the system is permanently unusable. So for instance hard drives can be tied to motherboards so that if the motherboard dies you cannot recover data from the drive.
PGP pretty much smashed all export restrictions back in the 90s. Some laws are on still on the books, but 'unbreakable' encryption is widely available to anyone who wants it.Austin wrote:US Government does not export encryption keys that NSA cannot decrypt.
Re: Indian Naval Discussion
right.. unbreakable encryption is possible by moving away from standards. adding one's own salt, and factors there is nothing pretty much can break.. unless there is some insider who gets way excited to share and decipher.
Re: Indian Naval Discussion
Projects like OpenBSD are based in Canada to work around US export laws. On top, the private sector pays a lot better and has more encryption experts employed. If any of the popularly used encryption algorithms had major flaws it would be out in the open by now.GeorgeWelch wrote:PGP pretty much smashed all export restrictions back in the 90s.

IF we want to really discuss this topic we need to differentiate between commercial and military uses. That German article that Austin posted may very well work in commercial India, I do not know. OpenBSD may be just great in commercial India. WRT OpenBSD The question I have is is it used by the Canadian military. I can bet pretty much anything that IF the Canadian military were to use it, the OpenBSD OS would be very heavily modified. You just cannot use a commercial OS - as is - in a military secure environment.
So, suggest that we figure out if the article/s are for commercial or military use - before we post.

Re: Indian Naval Discussion
What of the rumors regarding stuxnet which sunk Sindhurakshak ... Are they proved to be just rumors onlee ..?
AFAiK DRDO was developing a custom OS for precisely this reason ... What is its present status...
And this is idiocy to splurge money on overpriced Windoze 8 and its document reading malware (Office ) when there are gazzilion light weight and bare bones alternatives of Linux android kindle's etc which can be used as stop gap...
Isn't the need just to eliminate the bulky Paper manuals when doing maintenance work ?

http://articles.economictimes.indiatime ... rimes-drdoHYDERABAD: Exhorting the need to have a robust cyber security system in place, DRDO chief V K Saraswat today said the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) alongwith other premier institutes is developing India's own operating system (OS), which is likely to be ready in next three years.
"One of the major elements of cyber security is having our own operating system because today we are dependent on all OS systems which are imported whether it is based on Windows, Linux which is likely to be having malicious worms/things and hence it is essential that we have our own OS," the DRDO Director-General said here
Re: Indian Naval Discussion
vulnerability is about the security aspect of the system.. and having an access to internal working of the software does not remove the vulnerability that came in with the system.
i am not talking if it has or not, but saying these two are different aspects.
it applies to any system, e.g: INC: no matter how much you know about its internal working its vulnerability to corruptions and bribes can be categorized and qualified.

Re: Indian Naval Discussion
Its more about the content of source that matters , if you have a binary OS like Windows then you really do not know whats inside it and how it work and what patches go in and what happens it is all maya.
When you get an open source OS like BOSS or OpenBSD or FreeBsd or some other flavour and you have full control over the source , patches updates etc and can audit it for vulnerabilties and backdoor stuff etc then you are more confident since you have full control.

OpenBSD is about as commercial as Linux. It's open source. But that's besides the point. I never meant to say we should use OpenBSD. Those that work on the project take security very seriously and they restrict themselves to using freely available security implementations and algorithms. I was just pointing out to the fact that there exists unencumbered security code available to those who would like to use it. For all practical purposes, the US export control laws have no real effect. This was in response to Austin's claim.
Re: Indian Naval Discussion
correct austin, and the reason that there are open source and information about the vulnerabilities. there are cert (like cmu), and us gov cert.org. to know about them.
reporting vulnerabilities improves quality of the product.
normally, security package is different and one has to pay for it.. and restricted to many govs.out
it is one thing about breaking the security, and it is entirely different to let know others how your security works.
so, secure data and communication should be gov specific and country specific. i would highly think about india's own encryption and decryption algos in the first place. but this does not prevent hackers.. so, there is comm level encryption /hardware level protection needed.

Re: Indian Naval Discussion
What binary? No defdept person will ever install a purchased binary and install it! In serious efforts the defdept actually sit with vendors and ensure secure code. Suspect you have not been exposed to such situ.
I would expect IN to even prohibit a chip that article talks about, either remove it or have a known chip set installed.
Like I said there is a huge diff between commercial and def implementation.

Re: Indian Naval Discussion
Hi Kapil,
This India trip was a blur mainly because it was terribly frustrating. After spending full unproductive days at government offices, I left in a hurry without making much progress. I won't bribe - that's the problem. I am sorry, I was incommunicado after my first contact.
I had a limited window available from work and had to make it back before the 27th.
I have retreated but am not defeated. I will advance from a different flank. Next visit should be longer.
I have had a few chats with various IN people about PR and public engagement. Sadly, the small minority who see the benefits are drowned out by the majority who do not see it as a priority.
In the meantime, any chance of you coming for the Sydney IFR? Would be great if you could make it. There is a Paki P3C participating which they could not refuse us on an open public day.

Re: Indian Naval Discussion
Can't agree more NRao. Austin when I say unprecedented access to internal working I mean exactly that. This can and will include source code access depending on the criticality. Some of this was required for ensuring security of our utilities infrastructure. Defense is even more critical and no one even the corrupt have been allowed to interfere.NRao wrote:What binary?

Re: Indian Naval Discussion
Unprecedented Access , what are you talking about ?
Couple of year back our vendors were involved in networking of WNC in Mumbai , Vendors/OEM are involved in tenders who ever wins the tender gets the deal and then they subcontract it to their partner , I wont tell you who the specific vendor was but lets say HCL wins the deal they subcontract to their partner , they use the same Windows OS , CICSO routers/switches and all the same software commercial vendors uses , No Unprecedented access , the only form of security is what you get via firewall/anti-virus software etc no different from any other commercial entity. The Navy leaves it on the OEM and Vendor to do the job and the software/hardware used are the same as any commercial operator would use.
I can give you example of work done at HAL and Army Central command and most of the time the subcontractor has really no clue about security and these are the ones who do most of the work , all they are interested is do the job within agreed time and get the money.
You can be assured that in all cases the hardware and sofware are procured in much the same way as any other commercial entity would do. We only found some DRDO organisation were security conscious when it comes to the fine nity gritty , I remember looking at a document for HPC setup in an DRDO entity and they had great deal of question down to level of packages and what can/must be added and it was based on opensource even though if these are again commerical Linux type OS.

The red line are fire screens at 44m and 98m from begining of the hanger. 11 mig 29k and 6 kamovs can be carried in more flexible layout than ins vikramaditya where 3 rail lines move the aircraft and is densely packed.
