DOD Joint Vision 2020 (JV2020) is the integratedmulti-service planning document for conduct amongcoalition forces of future warfare. It requires theconfluence of a number of key avionics technicaldevelopments: integrating the network-centric battlefield,management of hundred thousands of distributedprocessors, high assurance Multi Level Security (MLS) inthe battlefield, and low cost high assurance engineering.This paper describes the results of a study and modelingof a new security architecture, (MLS-PCA), that yields apractical solution for JV2020 based upon DARPAPolymorphic Computing Architecture (PCA) advances,and a new distributed process-level encryption scheme.The paper defines a functional model and a verifiedformal specification of MLS-PCA, for high assurance,with the constraints PCA software and hardwaremorphware must support. Also, the paper shows a viablemapping of the MLS-PCA model to the PCA hardware.MLS-PCA is designed to support upwards of 500,000CPUs predicted by Moore's law to be available circa2020. To test such speculation, the paper concludes witha description of an in-progress proof-of-conceptimplementation of MLS-PCA using a 100-node GridComputing system and an MLS distributed targetingapplication.
