The best I could come up with is:
http://www.gwg.nga.mil/documents/NSG_Geo_Core_MD_Profile.doc

It is a 200 page document, so, IF somebody is interested, feel free to 
dwell into it. I am concerned with data-security, too, so I do have an 
interest in this topic, but the 200 page document is slightly too large 
for my very limited time.

Sincerely,

Leonard
