RSEN (Risk Sensitive Notice, portion marking RS) keyword is used for imagery product. The KEYHOLE series KH-1 through KH-4b were part of the new TALENT-KEYHOLE designation. Known compartments include RUFF ( IMINT satellites), ZARF ( ELINT satellites), and CHESS (U-2). TALENT KEYHOLE is now a top-level control system that merged with KLONDIKE KEYHOLE is no longer a distinct compartment. ![]() In 1960, it was broadened to cover all national aerial reconnaissance (to later include SR-71 sourced imagery) and the KEYHOLE compartment was created for satellite intelligence. ![]() The original TALENT compartment was created in the mid-1950s for the U-2. TALENT KEYHOLE (TK) TK covers space-based IMINT ( imagery intelligence), SIGINT ( signals intelligence), and MASINT ( measurement and signature intelligence) collection platforms related processing and analysis techniques and research, design, and operation of these platforms (but see Reserve below). It has two subcompartments: ECRU (SI-EU) and NONBOOK (SI-NK). ENDSEAL information must always be classified as Special Intelligence (SI), so probably it is related to SIGINT or ELINT. Navy's control system was revealed in the 2013 Classification Manual. For information about this program, a new security compartment was created which was given STELLARWIND as its permanent cover term on October 31, 2001. This program was started by President George W. STELLARWIND (STLW) This codeword was revealed on June 27, 2013, when The Guardian published a draft report from the NSA Inspector General about the electronic surveillance program STELLARWIND. These three codewords, the usage of which was terminated in 1999, were attached directly to the classification without reference to COMINT or SI, e.g. Upon termination from a particular compartment, the employee again signs the nondisclosure agreement. Once it is determined a person should have access to an SCI compartment, they sign a nondisclosure agreement, are " read in" or indoctrinated, and the fact of this access is recorded in a local access register or in a computer database. This process may include a polygraph or other approved investigative or adjudicative action. One must receive explicit permission to access an SCI control system or compartment. Eligibility alone does not confer access to any specific SCI material it is simply a qualification. Because the same investigation is used to grant Top Secret security clearances, the two are often written together as TS//SCI. The federal government requires the SCI be processed, stored, used or discussed in a Sensitive compartmented information facility (SCIF).Įligibility for access to SCI is determined by a Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI) or periodic reinvestigation. ![]() When "decompartmentalized", this information is treated the same as collateral information at the same classification level. SCI is not a classification SCI clearance has sometimes been called "above Top Secret", but information at any classification level may exist within an SCI control system. All SCI must be handled within formal access control systems established by the Director of National Intelligence. Sensitive compartmented information ( SCI) is a type of United States classified information concerning or derived from sensitive intelligence sources, methods, or analytical processes. The intelligence was collected by the National Security Agency and classified as TOP SECRET//COMINT-GAMMA//ORCON/NOFORN, and released in form of a Global SIGINT Highlight on. Example of intelligence on covert meetings held by the French President François Hollande. ![]()
