From DSS to MILS (extended abstract)

John Rushby

This was presented at a Festschrift in honor of Brian Randell on the occasion of his 75th birthday.

The talk was the main thing (see below), but the paper appears in "Randell's Tales: a Festschrift recognizing the contributions of Brian Randell", C.B. Jones and J.L Lloyd (Eds.), Springer LNCS 6875, pp. 53--57, August 2011.

Abstract

I outline the principal ideas of the Distributed Secure System (DSS) on which Brian Randell and I collaborated in the early 1980s, its modern manifestation as MILS, and continuing research challenges posed by these architectures.
