Summary	Proposal Objective in the DoD and Intelligence Community, access to information at different sensitivity levels is a critical capability, yet we lack highly secure multi-level systems. Current needs point toward solutions able to adapt to changing situations and threats that must also be affordable, usable, and highly effective. MYSEA Phase VI will develop field-ready capabilities for multilevel, adaptive information and security services, which will demonstrate the feasibility of the MYSEA, distributed architecture. Affordability is based on the judicious, minimized use of high assurance (expensive) components; usability is supported via common commercial products and their interfaces; and the high assurance evaluation target reflects the comprehensive effectiveness of our solution. MYSEA Phase VI comprises several research areas: distributed, multi-level security services; support for adaptive security; scalability analysis and testing; infrastructure support; and evaluation/accreditation support. It extends the existing MYSEA prototype, and will be developed, tested and measured in the controlled MLS test bed environment.
