Conjunto de
medidas destinadas a evitar la interceptación, el análisis de tráfico y la
decepción imitativa. [CESID:1997]
Measures (security controls)
applied to transmissions in order to prevent interception, disruption of
reception, communications deception, and/or derivation of intelligence by
analysis of transmission characteristics such as signal parameters or message
externals.
Note: TRANSEC is that field
of COMSEC which deals with the security of communication transmissions, rather
than that of the information being communicated.
[CNSSI_4009:2010]
(I) COMSEC measures that
protect communications from interception and exploitation by means other than
cryptanalysis. Example: frequency hopping. (Compare: anti-jam, traffic flow
confidentiality.) [RFC4949:2007]
