Implementation of Segment Management for a Secure Archival Storage System.

Abstract

This thesis presents an implementation of segment management for the security kernel of a secure archival storage system. The basis for this implementation is a family of secure, distributed, multi-microprocessor operating systems designed to provide multi-level internal computer security and controlled sharing of data among authorized users. This implementation provides address space management for individual processes, based on segmentation as a memory management scheme. Non-discretionary information security is provided through enforcement of a security policy based on a lattice structure that allows flexibility in representing different security policies; the Department of Defense (DoD) security classification system is the security policy represented in this thesis. Implementation was completed on the ZILOG Z8000 micro-processor. (Author)
