Securable Robust Tablet Nodes (SERTN) EKB Phase II Full Proposal

Securable Robust Tablet Nodes (SERTN) solution in Phase II will focus on delivery of a path to NSA CSfC certifiable software solution for operating mobile tablets in multi-level secured, disjointed mission environments to aid in the establishment of a common Electronic Kneeboard (EKB) capability across all United States Naval (USN) and United States Marine Corps (USMC) aviation platforms. We will develop a prototype software tool with a path towards multi-level secure processing capability and certification. The distinguishing feature/development of the SERTN Electronic Kneeboard is the fact that software pieces are not in general full-up virtual machines, but are independent processes running on a machine (virtual or otherwise) using multitasking or multiprocessing. The insecure "every process has access to every resource" model is not consistent with CSP/Crawl-Space/LPNOS, and support must exist that partitions ownership of resource in a known way at all times.
