MindLink®

The MindLink security engine is a sophisticated and multi-layered access control system based on military-grade practices of secret attributes, roles, and security clearances.

It allows chat room access rights to be configured at multiple levels of privilege and granularity through expressive and role-based permissioning rules, using secret attributes and security clearances sourced from trusted third-party directories.

This encourages information flow across the mission theatre though autonomous and devolved management of chat rooms, whilst ensuring that the governance and confidentiality of such highly-sensitive data is maintained.

MindLink's security architecture is rooted in the novel  "Communities of Interest" paradigm advocated by the Intelligence Community.

It segregates all aspects of the system - such as chat rooms, users, and content - into secure compartments to enforce strong access-control boundaries, define explicit data handling procedures, and mitigate spillage risks.

This protects highly-sensitive information using best-practice techniques from the IC by ensuring data is organized and shared only with those with a "need to know".

MindLink protects highly sensitive information using techniques that have been developed for TOP SECRET information by the Intelligence Community.

It leverages a set of prescribed mechanisms based on technology, policy and human behaviour to meet niche requirements for intelligence and defense.

These are provided natively, without the need for external components, as first-class safeguard mechanisms ensuring data is handled correctly and transparently to prevent data spillage or leakage.

MindLink's end-to-end encryption is an innovative approach to zero-trust architecture using specialised information security paradigms adopted by the intelligence community.

It leverages the "Communities of Interest" pattern to protect and exchange encryption keys whilst preserving both organisational governance and the scalability required for effective mass-participation, real time collaboration.

This mitigates prevalent insider threat against the vast attack surface of a typical chat system without compromising the capability of the system to support the modern mission.
