An Architecture for Multilevel Secure Interoperability
نویسندگان
چکیده
As computer systems become distributed and heterogeneous, there is strong movement in the commercial sector to ease the problems of interoperability and security. Many standards have been proposed for these problems. However, the commercial sector has not shown strong interest in providing cost-effective high-assurance multilevel security (MLS) solutions to the relatively small communities (e.g., intelligence, military) that require them.

MLS DBMS Interoperability Study
Interoperability among heterogeneous databases is a fundamental requirement of many emerging Department of Defense (DoD) systems. Often these systems also have requirements for Multilevel-Secure (MLS) operation, where data is labeled to reflect its sensitivity level (e.g., UNCLASSIFIED, SECRET, etc.). The Air Force Rome Laboratory MLS Database Management System (DBMS) Interoperability Study has...
متن کاملA framework for MLS interoperability
Distributed object-oriented computing (DOC) is a new computing paradigm that promotes component-based development, location independence, scalability, software reuse, etc. Users of multilevel security (MLS) technology want to take advantage of these new technologies. However, the process of incorporating new technologies into MLS products is slower than the analogous process for non-secure comm...
متن کاملA Practical Transaction Model and Untrusted Transaction Manager for a Multilevel-Secure Database System
A new transaction model for multilevel-secure databases which use the replicated architecture is presented. A basic concurrency control algorithm and two variations are given based on this transaction model. We also present new correctness criteria for multilevel-secure databases which use the replicated architecture. Based on this criteria, we prove that our algorithms are correct. Keyword Cod...
متن کاملA Multi-Threading Architecture for Multilevel Secure Transaction Processing
A TCB and security kernel architecture for supporting multi-threaded, queue-driven transaction processing applications in a multilevel secure environment is presented. Our design exploits hardware security features of the Intel 80x86 processor family. Intel’s CPU architecture provides hardware with two distinct descriptor tables. We use one of these in the usual way for process isolation. For e...
متن کاملSecurity issues for federated database systems
This paper describes security issues for federated database management systems set up for managing distributed, heterogeneous and autonomous multilevel databases. It builds on our previous work in multilevel secure distributed database management systems and on the results of others’ work in federated database systems. In particular, we define a multilevel secure federated database system and d...
