High Assurance Multilevel Services for Off-The-Shelf Workstation Applications

Abstract

The need for multilevel secure (MLS) systems still exists yet, the popularity of desktop systems has resulted in the imposition of new requirements. To be useful, a system must employ commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) operating systems and office productivity software. We describe the preliminary architecture for a COTS-driven local area network that will provide MLS services to users while permitting them to employ standard office productivity tools on standard workstations. Our ongoing development centers on the provision of multilevel mail and messaging to the desktop.
