High Assurance Secure X.500
Abstract
This is the final report for the High Assurance Secure (HAS) X.500 program. It summarizes progress made on development of a high assurance, Multilevel Secure X.500 network directory server. The program was to develop an important enabling technology for building secure integrated network applications. Upon completion, the HAS X.500 system would have lowered operational costs and increased productivity by providing a high assurance networked database management system (DBMS) on the Secure Network Server LOCK 6 platform allowing connectivity between databases on networks at different classification levels and sharing of directory information between levels. The program consisted of four major components: (1) porting a trusted DBMS to a high assurance platform, porting an X.500 Directory Server Agent to a high assurance platform, developing a relational directory information base, and coordinating and (2) sharing progress with the security community. A majority of the DBMS port was completed prior to a redirection of the Defense Message System program which prompted an early termination for this program.
