Defence scientists plan to spend up to $4 million keeping secrets from
Uncle Sam.

The proposed three-year project, dubbed Secure Access Management for
Secret Operational Networks, is aimed at changing existing military
computer networks shared with the United States so some information can
only be accessed by Canadians.

"Contemporary and future Canadian Forces operations are conducted, and
will likely continue to be conducted, within a coalition," say
government documents released Tuesday.

"However, the Canadian Forces and the Department of National Defence
currently do not have a capability to handle national information
effectively on their operational networks. This hampers their ability to
plan Canadian participation in coalitions, and their ability to
participate in those coalitions when decisions involving national
sovereignty must be made. The worlds major military powers view the
ability to protect national information as an important strategic
capability. Canada has chosen to collaborate with the U.S. on its
overall information protection needs but still requires the capability
to protect Canadian-eyes-only information."

The proposed changes could prove useful for Canada in disputes over
Arctic sovereignty, said Denis Stairs, a political scientist at
Dalhousie University in Halifax who specializes in Canada-U.S.
relations.
