Abstract :
An embedded network security prototype is being developed to research issues associated with embedding cryptography into a trusted computer system. Trusted Information Systems (TIS) is implementing SP4, mail, and key management secure data network systems (SDNS) protocols in the Trusted Mach operating system using unclassified cryptography. The TIS prototype uses transport control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP) rather than OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) communications protocols. The authors discuss the organization and interactions of the embedded cryptorelated functions implemented in the prototype
