Abstract

The US Department of Defense (DoD) has begun to plan for the implementation of a DoD Directory capability based on the CCITT X.500 series recommendations, which define the data communication network directory. The DoD Directory statement of requirements has established the need to hold data of different classifications (UNCLASSIFIED to SECRET) and to serve users with different clearances. We describe a prototype secure read only directory system agent emulator (SRODE) far the DoD directory. The demonstration of a multilevel SRODE, which is implemented as an application on SeaView, has shown the feasibility of building an MLS DoD Directory with existing technology
