Abstract
Multilevel secure communication systems and methods for providing multilevel security to such communication systems are disclosed. More specifically, communication systems and methods configured in accordance with the inventive concepts disclosed herein may be utilized to provide support for N levels of secure communications using processors (may also be referred to as nodes) that may only have (N−M) levels of security separation (where N and M are integers and M is strictly less than N). In other words, processors that have less than N levels of security separation may be configured to form a communication system that is capable of supporting N levels of secure communication.
