NSA also expands Fortezza in:
Basic Certification Requirements for FORTEZZA Applications
Version 1.0, January 2, 1997
Which requires, among several new features:
The application shall allow the originator to specify the classification
of the data prior to or when performing encryption. Valid data
classification labels are: Unclassified, Unclassified But Sensitive,
Confidential, Secret and Top Secret.
