The Design and Verification of a Cryptographic Security Architecture
Overview Traditional security architectures have concentrated mostly on defining a programming interface (API) and left the internals up to individual implementers. This thesis presents a design for a portable, flexible high- security architecture based on a traditional computer security model involving a kernel implementing a reference monitor which controls access to security- relevant objects and attributes based on a configurable security policy. Layered over the kernel are various objects which abstract core functionality such as encryption and digital signature capabilities, certificate management, and secure sessions and data enveloping (email encryption) in a manner which allows them to be easily moved into cryptographic devices such as smart cards and crypto accelerators for extra performance or security.
