MYSEA Technology Demonstration

Abstract

The purpose of the Monterey Security Enhanced Architecture (MYSEA, pronounced my-SEE-ah) project is to provide a trusted distributed operating environment for enforcing multi-domain security policies, which supports unmodified (COTS productivity applications. The architecture encompasses a combination of many low-assurance commercial components and relatively few specialized (e.g., high-assurance) multi-domain components. This arrangement permits the ongoing DoD and U.S. Government investment in commodity personal computer (PC) operating systems and applications to be integrated into an environment where enforcement of critical security policies is assigned to more trusted elements. Assurance is derived from the application of high assurance system design and development methods to the trusted elements as well as to the overall architecture.
