Abstract
Secure distributed systems are not easily constructed, as they combine mechanisms based on very different theories of security (encryption and reference monitors). The authors show how these mechanisms may be integrated via the Unix STREAMS mechanism Examples are given of how this architecture can support existing security protocols and it is shown why it is consistent with the Bell-LaPadula and Biba information-flow models
