Monterey Security Enhanced Architecture Project

Abstract

This research project has produced an innovative architecture and corresponding engineering prototype consisting of trusted security services and integrated operations system mechanisms for the protection of distributed multi-domain computing environments from malicious code and other attacks. These security services and mechanisms extend and interoperate with existing workstations, applications and open source operating systems, providing new capabilities for composing secure distributed system using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components. The latter construct results from the realizations that unless a secure system offers users comfortable and familiar interfaces for handling routine information, the secure system will fail due to lack of user acceptability.
