PALM HARBOR, Fla. – Many military systems host multiple applications, and those applications can be at varying security levels. To represent trusted computing, however, an application must not be able to see the contents of another application’s data (confidentiality), change the data of another application (integrity), or cause another application or its data to become inaccessible for a period of time (availability) -- even when the separate applications are at the same security level, says Richard Jaenicke for Military and Aerospace Electronics
