Abstract

The Enhanced HDM Specification and Verification System being developed at SRI International includes an "MLS Checker" that automatically verifies the security of a certain class of system specifications.

This paper gives a brief and informal overview of the security model on which the MLS checker is based and discusses its application and its relationship to other security models and to the requirements of the DoD Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria.
