Purpose of this presentation

Provide SGIM’s perspective on modernizing the transmission and processing of State

  • submissions. Including:
  • Current transmission methods and areas for

improvement

  • SGIM conceptual requirements
  • Current IAEA-SG IT landscape overview
  • Future outlook

IAEA

Background

  • SGIM: “The Backbone for State Declared

Information Management and Analysis”

  • Manages State declarations which are

submitted in multiple forms and mediums

  • Increasing volume of State reporting
  • Expanding amount of unstructured

information (e.g. Additional Protocols, Small Quantity Protocols, etc.)

IAEA

Stakeholders

  • SRA*: submits declaration, provides

clarifications, responds to questions, resolves omissions

  • SG (including SGIM): intake, processing,

analyzing, inspections

  • IAEA non-SG (ARMS): Processes a copy of

the State declaration

*SRA - State or Regional Authority responsible for safeguards implementation

IAEA

Current Transmission Methods

Declarations are currently transmitted via:

  • Encrypted email sent to IAEA
  • Physical Transfer- hand carried by inspectors or

State representatives to IAEA: digital media or paper

  • Post- mailed via post/package delivery company

(e.g. DHL): digital media (CD, USB), or paper

  • Fax: “hard copy that is hard to read”

IAEA

Current Issues with All Transfer Methods

  • Labour intensive process
  • All declarations require some level of

formatting/QC before inputting into our DB

  • Acknowledgement processes is paper

based

  • Security/Confidentiality Overhead
  • Paper: ARMS/SG
  • Electronic: Encryption/Certificates
  • Languages (UN has 6)

IAEA

Issues with current mediums of transfer

  • Paper declarations
  • Completely manual entry
  • Additional work for non-text
  • Confidentiality Overhead (ARMS  SG)
  • Legibility (faxes)
  • Tracking
  • Electronic declarations
  • 1-way communication
  • Varied file formats and standards

IAEA

Desired Functionality

  • 2-way communication
  • SRA submits State declaration and can respond

to requests for clarification

  • IAEA-SG acknowledges receipt and can request

clarification

  • Automatically perform basic QC
  • Required & data validation
  • Alerts SRA user of potential errors, and allows

corrections before submission

IAEA

Desired Functionality (cont.)

  • Security
  • As required user accounts for SRA users
  • User/password administration for SRA and

IAEA-SG admin

  • Backwards compatibility and interoperability
  • SRA contact list

Desired future workflow

IAEA

Landscape - IT Security

  • Connections to SG are only permitted from

inspectors laptop (VPN) or IAEA equipment to the SG LAN (or DMZ in special cases)

  • All State declarations will reside on ISE (a

secure network)

  • ISE and Information Classification policies

are being updated

SLIDE 15

IAEA

Landscape – IT Infrastructure

  • Agency-wide LAN: SG Confidential data and

above could not reside there (SPRICS 2.0)

  • SG-LAN: non IAEA-SG equipment can not

access it (remote monitoring equipment)

  • “Member State Data Submission Hub”

(MSDSH) – conceptual stage Strong consideration will be given to re-using existing SG services and integration of States components

Conclusions

  • Need for modernization has been

recognized and there have been primarily individual efforts to date

  • IAEA SG is looking for an extensible unified

solution which is compatible with existing State NMAC* systems

  • Collaboration with States is necessary for

project scoping, funding, requirements gathering, and integration
