A Multilevel Secure Workflow Management System

چکیده
The Department of Defense (DoD) needs multilevel secure (MLS) workflow management systems to enable globally distributed users and applications to cooperate across classification levels to achieve mission critical goals. An MLS workflow management system that allows a user to program multilevel mission logic, to securely coordinate widely distributed tasks, and to monitor the progress of the workflow across classification levels is required. In this paper, we present a roadmap for implementing MLS workflows and focus on a workflow builder that is a graphical design tool for specifying such workflows.

A Semantic-Based Execution Model for Multilevel Secure Workflows
Workflow management systems (WFMS) support the modeling and coordinated execution of processes within an organization. To coordinate the execution of the various activities (or tasks) in a workflow, task dependencies are specified among them. As advances in workflow management take place, they are also required to support security. In a multilevel secure (MLS) workflow, tasks may belong to diff...
متن کاملTools to Support Secure Enterprise Computing
Secure enterprise programming is a difficult and tedious task. Programmers need tools that support different levels of abstraction and that track all the components that participate in distributed enterprises. Those components must cooperate in a distributed environment to achieve higher-level goals. A special case of secure enterprise computing is multilevel secure (MLS) computing. Components ...

In this paper we describe a preliminary design and implementation of a multilevel secure deductive database management system (MLSIDEDBMS). In particular, logic as a dara model for multilevel databases, reasoning across security levels, architectural issues for an MLSIDEDBMS, and a prototype implementation are discussed.
متن کاملSecurity Constraint Processing in a Multilevel Secure Distributed Database Management System
In a multilevel secure distributed database management system, users cleared at different security levels access and share a distributed database consisting of data at different sensitivity levels. An approach to assigning sensitivity levels, also called security levels, to data is one which utilizes constraints or classification rules. Security constraints provide an effective classification p...
