1809.0. "Mail/document security classifications" by DYPSS1::MAXI (Tracy Maxi -> EIS Delivery) Wed Nov 18 1992 18:09

I have a customer (Air Force) to whom I am going to be demonstrating 
ALL-IN-1, Conferencing, and VTX.  They want to run ALL-IN-1 in a 
secure environment.  One of their requirements is to be able to mark 
mail/documents with different levels of security classification
similar to what we have internally.  Is there an existing 'solution'
to do the piece we already do internally?  Where can I get more info 
on this?

In addition, they want the classification banner to be displayed when
a user does a print screen.  This banner can either be displayed on
the screen the entire time they are reading the mail/document (and thus
will get printed) or can be added to the print screen function.  Either
of these sound pretty doable, right?  Any ideas as to what would be 
involved in doing either of these?

Thanks,

Tracy

1809.1Using SECURITY_SITE_DEF attributeSIOG::T_REDMONDThoughts of an Idle MindThu Nov 19 1992 09:1027
    In V3.0 there's an attribute called SECURITY_SITE_DEF that can be used
    to transport information around.  Unhappily it is stripped off when
    messages are sent off-node (Message Router doesn't know anything about
    it), but if you just want to do something within a single (secure) node
    then the attribute can be used.
    
    SECURITY_SITE_DEF is a LONGWORD bitmask attribute, so you have 32 0's
    and 1's to play with, and you can set them to whatever value you like. 
    Of course, you have to write some code to look at the attribute and
    insert lines like "Highly Confidential" into mail messages (via the
    MERGE when messages are read or printed).
    
    For example:
    
    CABINET SET_ATTRIBUTE , "SECURITY_SITE_DEF", 10011
    
    Afterwards
    
    FOR FIRST CAB$ATTRIBUTES:SECURITY_SITE_DEF DO GET #SECURITY = .VALUE
    
    .IF #SECURITY:5:27 EQ 10011 THEN GET -
      OA$MERGE_LINE = "Highly Confidential DOcument"
    
    
    Is that something that helps?
