Abstract

A method and apparatus for secure, fast storage and retrieval of information relative to a storage device without interactive checking is characterized by the use of a unique variable range adder. The variable range adder automatically modifies addresses to the storage device and causes data storage and retrieval to conform to the Bell and LaPadula security model, independently of software.
