Abstract

With the increasing growth of electronic communications, it is becoming important to provide a mechanism for enforcing various security policies on network communications. This paper discusses our implementation of several previously proposed protocols that enforce the Bell-LaPadula (1973) security model. We also introduce a new protocol called “Quantized Pump” that offers several advantages, and present experimental results to support our claims
