Jobstream Separator System Design

Abstract

The Jobstream Separator (JSS) has been proposed to automate the costly, inefficient, and inconvenient manual process used to 'change colors' (security levels) at AF WWMCCS sites. The JSS would provide complete isolation among WWMCCS users and data at differing levels by introducing a secure, centralized, certifiably correct, minicomputer system to control electronic switching of peripheral devices during the system reconfiguration phase of the color change. The system would eliminate extensive operator intervention, reduce the delays incurred in the physical removal of storage media, and enable the operator to change security states while maintaining overall security. This report presents a technical and economic assessment of the JSS and recommends development of the prototype system.
