Abstract

This document describes experimentationperformed as part of the Genoa Technology IntegrationExperiment (TIE). Achieved in two phases, theoverarching assertion of the Genoa TIE was thatboundary controllers, in the form of an automatedguard, could play an important role in the operationalsuccess of Project Genoa [1]. Genoa, an ongoingDARPA [2] research program, is focused on developinga prototype decision support environment for theNational Command Authority, and is intended tomitigate potential international crises early in theirdevelopment. In addition to protection from InformationWarfare attacks across the Internet and other sources,boundary controllers could assist the Genoa system inmanaging important aspects of information sharing, byimplementing access control and content filtering forinter-enclave transactions. The focus of this paperincludes experimentation with syntactic and NaturalLanguage Processing filters within the Genoaenvironment, and the measurement of their effectivenessin filtering inter-enclave transactions.
