  • Patent number: 7840573
    Abstract: A trusted relabeler system and software is provided that allows for the simultaneous reclassification of multiple files to multiple classification labels (security domains or computer networks) through automation of the multi-person review process. Roles, used to break down the requirements of the multi-person review process, dictate what specific function a user can perform. There are three roles used: Submitter, Processor, and Reviewer. Users are assigned one or more roles and a set of source and destination classification labels inside the security policy of a specific user that are bounded (restricted) by the clearance (maximum classification) assigned to a user on the trusted operating system on which the trusted relabeler system is implemented. The bundled documents to be reclassified are virus scanned, file typed, and searched for “dirty words” indicative of a particular classification level. Files are upgraded or downgraded only if all processes are completed successfully.
