Approach The proposed standard consists of a reference architecture, several reference designs, and several reference implementations. SDTP reference designs capture common single-level and multilevel configurations. For example, a given configuration may have a multilevel application running on single-level resource managers. An SDTP reference implementation has been developed for one of the reference designs. The implementation can be compiled on a variety of platforms and operating systems and linked into application programs.
Remote communication employs an emerging open standard for secure socket-level communication.
The three-tiered standard is being validated by formal proof. Design by Shari Fisher.
