High
Assurance Security Solutions Workshop
Tuesday,
July 14, 2009
A
Complimentary Event
This workshop will feature a keynote
by Joe Jarzombek, PMP, Director for
Software Assurance, National Cyber
Security Division, Office of Assistant
Secretary for Cyber Security &
Communications, Department of Homeland
Security.
The morning session is targeted at
business/managers and will feature
sessions on common problems and
solutions, and topics such as Multiple
Independent Levels of Security (MILS)
and will feature several demonstrations
from top vendors; the afternoon session
will be more in-depth and technical.
The Open Group Multiple
Independent Levels of Security (MILS)
Demo
Global defense contractors today are
challenged with delivering secure
communication systems with more
functionality, supporting multiple
domains, and higher assurance in a
platform that is smaller in size,
weight, and power (SWaP). This directive
cannot be satisfied using traditional
federated military platforms.
To create small and lightweight yet
powerful components for future systems
demanding the support of multilevel
secure (MLS) and Cross Domain Solutions
(CDS) communications, the MILS (multiple
independent levels of security)
architecture is now being implemented in
leading military programs. MILS is an
emerging system architecture based on
proven real-time operating systems
concepts. This technology integrates
multiple applications at different
security levels on a single
microprocessor. To be a suitable base
for very high assurance systems, MILS is
evaluated at the highest levels of
Common Criteria (CC) security
certification.
Four of the largest defense
contractors in the world, Boeing,
Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and Rockwell
Collins, will demonstrate this solution
at the High Assurance Security Workshop.
These leading defense suppliers, along
with their software partners, will
participate in a joint simulated combat
search-and-rescue demonstration in which
enemy jet fighter aircraft and missiles
identified and will be destroyed to
enable the successful recovery of a
downed pilot. This multi-vendor
demonstration will feature the MILS
approach to information assurance, which
can use Common Criteria-evaluated
off-the-shelf products as a base to
achieve secure information sharing in
the battle space. This demonstration
will show a new approach for building
MLS systems in a notional integrated
battlefield using MILS solutions across
companies and systems.
