Applications for multilevel secure operating systems

Abstract

The need for secure computer systems has been identified in many areas of DoD operations, but in the past these systems have not been built in a secure manner because a secure operating system on which to run has not existed. Now that verifiably secure minicomputer operating systems are becoming a reality, applications for secure systems are becoming more clearly thought-out, designed and implemented. This paper surveys some proposed DoD and non-DoD secure computer applications.
