This tutorial outlines the use of the Object Management GroupⓇ (OMGⓇ ) Data Distribution Service (DDSTM) standard in distributed Live, Virtual, & Constructive (LVC) simulation, with a focus on the security capabilities provided by DDS. DDS provides a comprehensive middleware solution for data distribution, and its security features are crucial for LVC simulation in sensitive environments. The tutorial covers DDS fundamentals, such as configuring DDS for LVC simulation, designing DDS entities and the DDS data model, and integrating DDS with LVC simulations. It also highlights best practices and case studies for DDS implementation. Additionally, the tutorial emphasizes the security features of DDS, such as authentication, access control, data encryption, and data integrity, which are essential for securing data in distributed simulation environments. 

Integrating global simulation training systems can be a formidable challenge. Legacy simulators often use different standards. Modern architectures require the use of cloud-based distributed assets. To top it off, security requirements now force integrators to become experts in information assurance. Winning solutions will be the ones that create synthetic training environments that can quickly be assembled and reconfigured from ready-made components.How can simulation systems integrators keep pace by limiting integration time to meet these requirements? Attend this tutorial to learn how DDS can ease integration, while also delivering National Security Agency (NSA)-tested security for distributed training systems over any transport.
