This paper reports on an ongoing effort to define the security architecture for the Joint Simulation System (JSIMS), a joint military modeling and simulation system. It also describes the use of the security architecture to support the accreditation of the system. The JSIMS security architecture must coordinate not only enclaves at different classifications, but also the independent configurati...
