Abstract:

This specification defines the technical requirements for hardware and software for a Secure Front-End Processor SFEP. The SFEP is intended to serve as the front-end processor for Multics and other Honeywell 6000Series 60 machines allowing the concurrent handling of multi-level classified traffic in a secure manner. The SFEP hardware elements include a Honeywell Level 6 computer, a Security Protection Module SPM, a communication network interface unit, and a central system interface unit. The software elements include a security kernel, operating system, application and support software.
