An Investigation of Multilevel Security and Its Application in the Wargaming, Research, and Analysis (W.A.R.) Lab.

Abstract

This thesis presents a discussion of automated data processing and storage in a multilevel secure environment. The paper covers areas such as the design and implementation of a security kernel; the DoD computer Security Center's criteria for trusted computer systems and networks; and risk assessment when processing and storing sensitive or classified data. One of the primary purposes of this paper is to serve as a handy reference for students in the Command, Control, and Communications curriculum at the Naval Postgraduate School who will research multilevel security and secure guard applications following the acquisition of the Gemini Trusted Mulitple Mirocomputer Base for the Wargaming, Research, and Analysis (W.A.R) lab. Additionally, a risk assessment of the W.A.R. lab was conducted and the possibilities of converting the facility into a multilevel secure computing environment were investigated. (Author)
