Trusted X Window System

The Trusted X Window System, Version 11, server starts at login and handles the workstation windowing system using a trusted interprocess communication (IPC) path. Windows, properties, selections, and Tooltalk^TM sessions are created at multiple sensitivity labels (polyinstantiated) as separate and distinct objects. Applications created with Motif widgets, Xt Intrinsics, Xlib, and CDE interfaces run within the security policy constraints enforced by extensions to the X11 protocols.

Appendix B, Trusted Solaris Interfaces Reference describes the extensions for developers who need to create a X11 trusted IPC path. Chapter 14, Trusted X Window System describes programming interfaces to access security attribute information and translate binary labels and clearances to text by a specified width and font list for display in the X Window System.
