Protection and Security Mechanisms in the SMITE Capability Computer.

Active / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA193652 |

Abstract:

The SMITE system will support high assurance, yet flexible multi-level secure applications. The SMITE multi-processor capability computer is being developed, based on RSRFEs Flex computer architecture, to provide a suitable environment. This paper describes the protection mechanisms provided by the microcoded hardware and introduces the security mechanisms built in software on top of these.
