Independent Testing and Integration of the Network Management Guard Proxy

Abstract

The document provides an overview of the network management guard/proxy. The network management guard/proxy is a modified firewall that sits between two networks of different classification levels. This modified firewall is used to provide network monitoring and control of multilevel networks. It sits between the high-side network management platform and the low-side network management platform via a virtual private network (VPN). The guard/proxy only allows information to pass between the two network management platforms based upon the integrity policy defined at the guard/proxy startup. This allows the high network management system to be able to monitor both the high-side and low-side networks. Furthermore this document contains information on the configuration of the boundary device, demonstrations that were accomplished, and testing that was completed during this contract.
