The Air Force Research Laboratory has announced the next version of SecureView, which will include both the addition of several long-awaited features as well as the return of one of my favorite features, now in a brand-new package.
First, the return of my favorite feature. Now it is called Mosaic, first introduced in SecureView 2.0 as MultiView, and functions as a secure seamless windowing capability. Back when this feature was first introduced, SecureView was based on XenClient XT, a Type I hypervisor from Citrix. Not long after the release of SV 2.0, Citrix put XCXT on End of Life status and left the SecureView team scrambling for a solution in order to continue their pursuit of a secure multi-domain platform for government.
I am happy to report SecureView 3.0 will see the return of the MultiView capability in the Mosaic feature. Mosaic provides the ability to view multiple simultaneously running VMs on the same display or across multiple displays. Another convenient feature returning in SecureView 3.0 is GlowView. GlowView enables certain RGB keyboards to change colors as the user switches between VMs, which is a nice visual reference to help users identify the acitve domain.
SecureView 3.0 will also include support for Intel's 7th Gen processors (Kaby Lake), support for dual Xeon E5-2600v3/v4 based workstations, and a few new management capabilities. What we will not see in SV 3.0 is support for Device Guard and Credential Guard. They are on the list for a future version, but for now SV achieves Data at Rest Capabilities Package v3.0 by integrating Self-Encrypting Drives, Windows Bitlocker and Dell's Data Protection Encryption software.
