FEDERALTIMES.com Published on August 22, 2006
By RONALD HACKETT August 21, 2006 In April 2005, when the Defense Department’s Multi-National Force — Iraq posted a redacted report on the death of Italian secret agent Nicola Calipari in Iraq, a group of Pentagon Web site visitors from Italy could copy and paste the classified portions from Adobe Acrobat Reader from the Web site into a Microsoft Word document, including the name of the U.S. soldier who accidentally killed her. Last December, Web surfers found out from the posted White House policy document “Strategy for Victory in Iraq” who the report’s author was, causing some embarrassment to the Bush administration. Sensitive government procurement documents, such as requests for proposals, frequently have tracked changes, comments and other hidden data that could give savvy contractors an unfair advantage. In one case, an incumbent contractor was barred from participating in the new procurement after the electronic document’s metadata revealed it had written the statement of work. How did these things happen? For years, agencies have taken precautions to secure their physical and electronic repositories of confidential and classified information. But there’s another, often overlooked vulnerability that federal agencies have only recently begun to recognize: hidden electronic data. Sharing electronic files with outside parties has become a daily activity for many government employees, and in certain cases — such as in Freedom of Information Act requests — government employees need to make redactions to remove sensitive and classified information. So what’s at the root of the problem? Software applications provide tremendous user functionality. To retain ease of use, the application handles most of the details in the background. This usually requires the application to make the most functional assumption about the data. For example, inserting a chart into a document usually results in the original spreadsheet being embedded into the document. A single user can create vast amounts of hidden data, but many documents have multiple authors. These authors have varying degrees of expertise, and some may intentionally create certain data structures unknown to the others. Inexperienced users may share sensitive data because they don’t know how to look for it. Many users start with an existing document and modify it for their needs. Unfortunately, the existing information may remain in the document. A properly trained expert can recover that “deleted” information. Software developers are not helping. To induce customers to purchase new versions, they pack their applications with new features but rarely consider the security ramifications. Microsoft’s Ad Hoc Review feature was added to Microsoft Office XP and 2003, for example. It uses the Excel, PowerPoint and Word’s tracked changes feature to keep track of the document review process. To get customers to adopt it, Microsoft turned it on by default. E-mailing a Word, PowerPoint or Excel document using Outlook automatically enables the Ad Hoc Review. Many security experts recommend using Adobe PDF documents, but they can contain deleted text, images and even entire pages. Annotations (similar to Microsoft’s comments feature) can be hidden, and may contain metadata and hyperlinks that expose the document’s origins. The plan for victory in Iraq is a good example. Hidden data reveals that it was originally a Word document written on a classified system. There is an embedded hyperlink to the classified CIA Factbook via a classified network. The hidden data also reveals that the document was modified several hours after an unfavorable article appeared that revealed the document’s author, which is also in the hidden data. Many keyword scanners commonly used to screen information may not detect much hidden data. Compression and encoding techniques obscure a lot of the information from these keyword scanners. Guard technology, used to screen electronic documents crossing security boundaries, relies on keyword scanners and may not screen the electronic documents. Information-sharing has already created a vulnerability that needs to be addressed. Classified data spills are common, but the problem may be even worse. Because hidden data can be difficult to find, many classified data spills may go undetected. Federal chief information officers should implement policies and procedures to ensure that documents with classified or confidential data are properly sanitized of all hidden data before being shared. Continuing to do business as usual is dangerous and could be giving our adversaries a tremendous advantage.

http://www.fcw.com/article95255-07-13-06-Web SRS wins file-scrubbing work at DoDSRS Technologies, a systems engineering and integration firm, is gaining traction in the product business with an electronic document review and sanitation tool. The product, Document Detective, has acquired an installed base of 35 Defense Department and DOD contractor customers since its debut in March 2005. In addition, SRS Technologies is working with several other organizations to get installations up and running, said Ronald Hackett, program manager for SRS’ Systems Solution Division. Document Detective assists in the process of transferring files from higher to lower classified networks. The Windows-based desktop application works with Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF files. It also works with HTML documents and Rich Text Format. The software identifies hidden data and metadata, such as Object Linking and Embedding files. Document Detective also includes a “flattening” tool that lets users remove hidden data. Document Detective “allows users to go through an electronic document with a fine-toothed comb and…make intelligent decisions on what information they want to share with the outside world,” Hackett said. In one deployment, the Center for Army Lessons Learned uses Document Detective to process electronic documents securely, according to SRS. CALL collects and analyzes data from Army personnel to create lessons for the Army’s Training and Doctrine Command. Strategic Communications Group 10.July.2006 Center for Army Lessons Learned Deploys SRS Technologies’ Document Detective Solution Early Adopter Uses Electronic Document Security Software to Purge Unwanted Data Newport Beach , CA – July 10, 2006 – SRS Technologies, a leading provider of system engineering, system integration and IT services and products, announced today that the Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL) has deployed its Document Detective solution to securely process electronic documents. CALL, based in Fort Leavenworth Kansas, collects and analyzes data from Army personnel to produce real-world lessons for the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), as well as other U.S. joint training centers. Document Detective finds hidden data and metadata, such as tracked changes, comments, OLE files, embedded documents and object fragments, in Microsoft Office and Adobe Portable Document Format files, allowing users to determine what material to eliminate or retain. On June 12, SRS announced the availability of its Electronic Document Review System (EDRS), which extends the capabilities of Document Detective and helps government and commercial organizations safely and reliably review, share and transfer sensitive or classified documents. “Most people don’t realize that electronic documents often contain a great deal of hidden data, especially when those documents are reused as templates or when multiple authors collaborate on a single document,” said Ronald D. Hackett, program manager for SRS’ Systems Solution Division. “Due to the nature of CALL’s business, they are especially aware of the importance of finding and eliminating hidden data. Document Detective helps provide CALL with a quicker turnaround to publish and disseminate its critical best practices documents to Army personnel, while maintaining a high confidence level that those documents do not contain sensitive hidden material.” Document Detective adds greater, in-depth search capability to CALL’s former processes of checking after-action reports and other related documents for hidden data and helps ensure that these files are electronically searched prior to archiving. Document Detective is SRS’ new electronic document security tool designed specifically to prevent inadvertent data disclosures when classified government documents are downgraded. Introduced in March 2006, it is the only product currently listed on the Defense Security Service’s Trusted Downloading Products List, and exceeds the requirements set forth in the NSA’s recently published guidance on data redaction. Based on CALL's successful pilot program, the Network Enterprise Technology Command/9th Army Signal Command (NETCOM/9th ASC) recognized Document Detective in their new Information Assurance Best Business Practices for “Data Transfer across Security Domains” that was published in May.

“Recent incidents at highly-visible Government agencies show that the problem of accidental data exposure will
escalate as vulnerable, mass-market software applications are implemented across
organizations and users continue to be unaware of the associated risks,” said
Joseph Bergantz, Vice President and General Manager of
Document Detective can process, identify and sanitize more than 100 types of hidden data and Meta data, including tracked changes, comments, embedded object linking and embedding (OLE) files, embedded objects and object fragments. Object fragments are created when the application fails to remove deleted information from the document. This data is often invisible to the human eye but can be easily located when using Document Detective. Document Detective was specifically engineered to process classified documents and meets the Government’s most stringent compliance requirements to provide 100% reliable human review.
Key features of Document Detective include:
o Customizable User Experience: Allows the user to customize the thoroughness of his review to determine if he wants to eliminate or keep hidden data.
o
“Flatten” Tool:
Leaves only what a user wants
in the document and can significantly reduce the file size of bloated documents
that contain a large amount of hidden data.
o Exposes Hidden Content in Embedded Objects: Identifies and corrects all embedded material found. OLE objects and compound objects, such as Groups, can be extracted and examined separately.
o Removes Tracked Changes from PowerPoint, Excel and Word : The Microsoft Ad Hoc Review feature that was added in Office XP automatically enables Tracked Changes without warning the user. This information can be difficult to remove, especially from PowerPoint.
“The NSA’s recent guidance on how to safely publish reports clearly shows that the data redaction problem is escalating and that users need to be educated about the tools that can prevent divulging sensitive data,” added Bergantz. “It is therefore imperative that electronic documents, especially in Government, are reviewed and sanitized before they are transferred across security boundaries.”
Starting at $300 for a single user license, Document Detective
is available immediately for purchase. For more information, please visit
