Abstract:
1. A system providing a scalable distributed operating environment, comprising: a cryptographic module for encrypting communications for transmission over an external network; a communication device for providing an interface to external communications and more than one classified and unclassified processes; a plurality of multiple independent levels of security (MILS) processors configured to execute a red process for handling classified processes and information and a black process for handling unclassified or encrypted processes and information, the plurality of MILS processors further including a partition management unit (PMU) operating to enforce separation, wherein a number of classified and unclassified processes activated upon selection of a waveform is dependent upon a degree of complexity of the waveform, the degree of complexity of the waveform is indicated by a parameter associated with the waveform, wherein a selected number of MILS processors of said plurality of MILS processors are activated and a clock speed of said selected number of MILS processors of said plurality of MILS processors activated upon selection of the waveform is determined by the parameter associated with the waveform.
