The Coast Guard might be housed in the Homeland Security Department, but operationally it similar to the armed services. It uses communication infrastructures provided by the Defense Department, notes Capt. Michael Dickey, the commanding officer of the Coast Guard Command, Control, Communications and IT service center.

Of email, Dickey says, “One of the concerns that we really need to pay attention to is exactly that of trust. When a Coast Guard unit receives an email from a commander [...] they need to be able to trust that the email received is from who it appears to be from.”

Dickey adds that the service center is working to extend email encryption and authentication to mobile devices.
