Secure system architectures and integration

In order to be affordable and satisfy user requirements, today's secure systems must be constructed out of trusted and untrusted components. A framework for designing secure system architectures has been developed. Four general-purpose secure architectures were designed, and one of them was validated on the secure system integration IR&D. This work and what has been learned about secure architectures and their implementation using commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) secure products are described.<
