The MILS architecture for high-assurance embedded systems
by Jim Alves-Foss, Paul W. Oman, Carol Taylor, W. Scott Harrison
International Journal of Embedded Systems (IJES), Vol. 2, No. 3/4, 2006

Abstract: High-assurance systems require a level of rigor, in both design and analysis, not typical of conventional systems. This paper provides an overview of the Multiple Independent Levels of Security and Safety (MILS) approach to high-assurance system design for security and safety critical embedded systems. MILS enables the development of a system using manageable units, each of which can be analysed separately, avoiding costly analysis required of more conventional designs. MILS is particularly well suited to embedded systems that must provide guaranteed safety or security properties.
