Benefits of technology

The patent text discusses a new approach to internet-scale networks called information-centric networking. This approach allows for more efficient management of information resources and provides new capabilities for information security. Unlike traditional packet-based networks, information-centric networks are designed around named data objects and strict data integrity principles. This design makes it easier to control how information is used across and within computing domains. Additionally, information-centric networks are also more scalable and adaptable to changing needs. Overall, this new approach improves the efficiency and security of information management in internet architectures.

Problems solved by technology

Controlling how information is used becomes increasingly difficult as computing infrastructure becomes more distributed.
However, the ability to share information between domains provides for powerful capabilities, as well as increased security risks.
It is believed that the current Internet is not well suited to the way it is used today and that in order to efficiently support future use, the Internet needs to be fundamentally re-examined and perhaps, in some ways, re-implemented.
However, different types of information-centric networks are not all synchronous.

Embodiment Construction

[0056]A clear taxonomic organization of potential steps in approaching finer-grained policy based usage management helps in describing the difficulties inherent in developing potential solutions as well as aiding in planning system evolution over time. Here, four distinct types of integrated policy-centric usage management systems have been identified, as shown in FIG. 1.

[0057]In this taxonomy, it is not required that systems pass through lower levels to reach higher ones. This taxonomy represents a continuum of integration of usage management controls. Systems can very well be designed to fit into higher taxonomic categories without addressing lower categories. However, many of the supporting infrastructural services, like identification management or logging and tracing systems, are common between multiple levels. The taxonomy itself starts with the current state, integrating policy evaluation systems into the network fabric gradually, moving away from filters, adding policy evalu...

Abstract

A system and methods for transferring information between two or more incompatible security domains or levels of classification by embedding policy-centric content management components into an information-centric network. Specifically, overlay architectures enable cloud computing for multi-level security environments.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 639,162, filed Apr. 27, 2012, incorporated by reference in its entirety.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH[0002]This invention was made with government supported under grant no. FA8750-10-C-0090 awarded by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). The United States Government has certain rights in the invention.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0003]The invention relates generally to computing systems. More specifically, the invention relates to overlay networks that support the transfer of information between two or more incompatible security domains or levels of classification including usage management in cloud computing environments that partitions information in cross-domain networks.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0004]Current enterprise computing systems are too expensive, unreliable, and information dissemination procedures are slow. Current approaches to parti...
