The Design and Implementation of the Memory Manager for a Secure Archival Storage System

Abstract

This thesis presents a detailed design and implementation of a memory manager for a kernel technology based secure archival storage system (SASS). The memory manager is a part of the non-distributed portion of the Security Kernel, and is solely responsible for the proper management of both the main memory (random access) and the secondary storage (direct access) of the system. The memory manager is designed for implementation on the ZILOG Z8000 microprocessor in a multi-processor environment. The loop free design structure, based upon levels of abstraction, and a segment aliasing scheme for information confinement are essential elements of the overall system security provided by the SASS.
