Abstract
This paper examines the architectural and security impact of using commercially available, popular terminal servers to support thin clients within the context of a high assurance multilevel network. Seven potential local area network architectures were analyzed for security and utility. Three secure configurations were identified: Multiple Terminal Servers in Series; Multiple Trusted Computing Base Extension-Enhanced Terminal Servers; and Terminal Servers on a High Assurance Virtual Machine Monitor.
