To provide for cryptographic separation, embodiments of the invention employ containment mechanisms provided by trusted operating systems to ensure that plaintext data which must be encrypted in accordance with a security policy (or, in reverse, ciphertext data which is to be decrypted) is processed by a suitable encryption routine before being sent onwards for transmission, storage, or the like. Such containment mechanisms usually include mandatory system access control rules which specify to which system resources the output of a system resource (such as an application) may be supplied. By specifying a suitable set of such rules, mandatory encryption can be enforced at the operating system kernel level.
