A Prototype of Multilevel Data Integration in the MYSEA Testbed

Abstract

Much of the information managed by government agencies is stored in databases. Mission Assurance objectives often require the synthesis of data from separate databases. Data Integration is used to address this need for combining sets of data. However, because many government organizations store data in databases with different syntactic characteristics and at different classification levels, they will necessarily want to combine data from these divergent data sources. This requires a secure system to ensure that sensitive information is not disclosed to unauthorized parties. The Monterey Security Architecture (MYSEA) is an experimental and extensible distributed Multilevel Secure (MLS) computing. This project set out to determine if a data integration application could be supported by the MYSEA environment. Through research on MLS database architectures, existing data integration technologies, and previous work to implement applications on MYSEA, this project was able to both define a high-level design for data fusion support in MYSEA and develop a proof-of-concept application to demonstrate that support.
