Abstract
A method and apparatus that generate a figure of merit for use in transmission of messages in a multi-level secure environment. The method may include receiving a message having a data provenance wrapper, examining each data provenance record of the message and any attachments for discrepancies, identifying any discrepancies in the examination of each data provenance record of the message and any attachments, generating a figure of merit based on objective and subjective information, substituting the figure of merit for the data provenance information, and transmitting the figure of merit with the message across the security domain.
