Application of Intrusion Tolerance Technology to Joint Battlespace Infosphere (JBI)

Abstract

Military information systems, such as a JBI, have evolved to a point where military organizations rely heavily upon them. In fact, the ability of the Department of Defense to use its resources effectively is contingent on the proper operation of these information systems. Improving the survivability of critical military information systems is essential for military applications. The Willow survivability architecture is designed to improve information system survivability significantly. The way in which this is done is to implement a monitoring and control structure that operates separately from the information system itself. The survivability mechanism is responsible for detecting faults and recovering from them. The Willow architecture is a general concept and the goal of this project was to determine its utility and relevance to the JBI concept. The overall conclusion is that all aspects of Willow technology are useful to the JBI.
