Lightweight Portable Security (LPS) creates a secure end node from trusted media on almost any Intel-based computer (PC or Mac). LPS boots a thin Linux operating system from a CD without mounting a local hard drive. Administrator privileges are not required; nothing is installed. SPI created the LPS family to address particular use cases. LPS-Public is a general-purpose, safer solution for using web-based applications. The accredited LPS-Remote Access is only for accessing your organization's private network.
LPS-Public allows general web browsing and connecting to remote networks. It includes a CAC-enabled Firefox browser, a PDF and text viewer, Java, and Encryption Wizard - Public. LPS-Public turns an untrusted system (such as a home computer) into a trusted network client. No trace of work activity (or malware) can be written to the local computer. Simply plug in your USB CAC-reader to access CAC-restricted DoD websites.
