Abstract :
Critical nature organizations normally deploy strict access rights policies and use of some commercial software to handle the information misuse. But such mechanisms can´t be effective to detect or prevent some of the misuse channels e.g. covert channels. An application is developed for secure document exchange in critical nature organizations of our country. The benefit is that source code is available with the higher management of the organization using it and source code reviewing can be done before as well as after the start of using this application inside the organization. Results obtained by deploying it show that it prevented as well as detected most of the channels of information misuse.
