This document describes the interface to the SecureCore operating systems (SCOS) for Phase 0 of the SecureCore project. Phase 0 is a rapid prototype with only enough specified functionality to demonstrate progress and potential capabilities of the SecureCore project. The SCOS interface includes a software emulation of the Secret-Protecting (SP) processor extensions [1]. Because this is a Phase 0 functional specification, this document is considered to be a rapid-prototype specification within a spiral life cycle model. This document is expected to change as experience is gained with the Least Privilege Separation Kernel (LPSK) environment or as better approaches are identified.NSF Grant no.
