On the Design and Implementation of a Secure Computer System

Abstract

Smite is a novel computer architecture implementing a new security policy model which is proposed for use in Government and Military environments where high assurance of complex confidentiality and integrity based security policies is required. This report records results of a one year contract (A94c/ 2711) carried out by TSL Communications Ltd. This provided a peer review of the proposed architecture, characterized the essential architectural elements and formulated the security oriented top level model. In this way it provided a baseline definition of SMITE to aid the future way forward for the project.
