Abstract :
Local Area Networks (LANs) are coming to the forefront in data communications for both commercial as well as military applications. This thrust has resulted from the requirement to provide communications and resource sharing between dispersed users of computers and/or workstations. For many government/military applications, security is a key aspect. This paper describes a recently developed TEMPEST LAN which utilizes optical fiber as the communications medium along with LAN transceivers and communication servers designed to meet TEMPEST requirements. The LAN operates at 10 Mb/s using the Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 Standards.
