Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a programmable integrated circuit; a first section in the programmable integrated circuit, wherein the first section has a first number of interfaces configured to receive first information from a first number of devices that generate the first information with a first assigned security label, the first assigned security label being associated with a first security level selected from a plurality of security levels; and a second section in the programmable integrated circuit, wherein the second section has a second number of interfaces and a number of network interfaces; wherein the second number of interfaces is configured to receive second information from a second number of devices that generate the second information with a second assigned security label, the second assigned security label being associated with a second security level selected from the plurality of security levels; wherein the first section and the second section are partitioned from each other such that communication between the first section and the second section is controlled by the second section; wherein the second section is configured to receive the first information from the first section, process the first information and the second information to form processed information with a processed security label for a third security level that is within the plurality of security levels, and send the processed information to the number of network interfaces in which an identification of the processed security label is associated with the processed information.
