Overview

BlueSpace is an enterprise software vendor with solutions for enterprise mail and messaging in the defense, intelligence, financial services, government and healthcare communities, as well as multi-level secure (MLS) middleware for the defense and intelligence communities.

Mail and Messaging

BlueSpace is a mail and messaging enterprise software vendor, focusing on the defense, intelligence, financial services, government and healthcare communities.

Email is the user’s choice for collaboration, but regular commercial email servers have not been designed for deployment scenarios in which content control is an important driver, and custom messaging systems can quickly become legacy and expensive to maintain.

BlueSpace TransMail is the first mail and messaging platform specifically designed for this type of content:

  • It has a modern, multi-tier architecture
  • It supports metadata tagging at compose time
  • It supports data integration through a SOA and web services

It has the following capabilities:

  • Access: Determines who can access the data.
  • Encryption: Ensures confidentiality.
  • Authentication: Confirms the user's identity.
  • Rights Management: Prevents information dissemination.
  • Retention: Varies retention depending on content.
  • Deletion: Allows timely content risk reduction.
  • Metadata: Allows content description.
  • Process: Facilitates automation.
  • Search: For knowledge management and discovery.
  • Data Validation: Guarantees content authenticity.
  • Availability: Ensures business continuity.
  • Audit Log: Records every significant user action.


BlueSpace has created TransMail Trusted Edition for the particular needs of the defense and intelligence communities. It integrates with Solaris 10 TX to provide a multi-level messaging interface, in which content at multiple classification levels can be presented through a single inbox.

The Trusted Client on the Solaris 10 TX MLS desktop in TransMail Trusted Edition leverages the BlueSpace Trusted Client Framework to build its MLS views.

MLS Middleware

As information sharing has become more important, creating a single view of data across multiple security levels has become a key capability for the defense and intelligence communities.  BlueSpace has partnered with Sun Microsystems to develop the first MLS middleware application, the BlueSpace Trusted Client Framework.

The Trusted Client Framework allows defense and intelligence organizations, and their partners, to rapidly develop and deploy MLS interfaces to both existing commercial and custom applications with minimal impact on accreditation.  Examples include MLS instant messaging and collaboration tools.  BlueSpace has contracted with a Common Criteria Testing Laboratory in the US to evaluate its Trusted Service Bus at an EAL5 level.

The Trusted Client Framework offers a rapid route to mission-transformational capabilities for the defense and intelligence communities.
