Multilevel Security for Intelligence Data Processing Systems.
Abstract
This technical report summarizes the major results of a study to determine the feasibility of integrating a security kernel (enforcing DOD security policy) with the IAS operating system installable on the PDP 11/45 and other computers. The report contains sections on the following: Background and Problem Description; Computer System Security Requirements; Current IAS Architecture; Secure IAS Design Considerations; Secure IAS Architecture; Verification Plan; Development Plan; and Conclusions and Recommendations. The latter section is tempered by the DARPA sponsored development of KSOS, a 'kernalized Secure Operating System' version of UNIX. Possible options are suggested for follow-up study and development effort applicable to the AF Intelligence Community, in regard to the question of remaining with IAS/RSX or migrating to KSOS in all systems or selected ones.
