Ultra-secure, Coalition-wide, Mission Communications for Defence and the Intelligence Community.
MindLink offers the freedom to securely share classified information only to those with a need to know, on a federated platform you and your mission partners can trust, in real time.
Persistent Chat Persistent Chat is a messaging concept for group chat software that consist of standing, topic-based chatrooms with an emphasis on real-time messaging, that preserve conversation history over time which is visible to both current and future participants.
Mission Focus The MindLink platform is specifically designed to support critical use cases and ways of working across the modern mission theatre.
Classification MindLink data-centric approach to classification is the unique adaptation of military-grade labelling and access control techniques to chat rooms and messages using sophisticated national classification systems such as CAPCO and GSCP.
COI Support The MindLink security architecture is rooted in the novel "Communities of Interest" paradigm advocated by the Intelligence Community.
This protects highly-sensitive information using best-practice techniques from the IC by ensuring data is organized and shared only with those with a "need to know".
Data-Centric End-to-End Encryption MindLink's end-to-end encryption is an innovative approach to zero-trust architecture using specialized information security paradigms adopted by the intelligence community.
This mitigates prevalent insider threat against the vast attack surface of a typical chat system without compromising the capability of the system to support the modern mission.
Secure Multi-Tenancy MindLink multitenancy is the ability to define deep ethical walling mechanisms, trust models, and data management controls to securely partition users and chat rooms on a single MCE instance.
This facilitates the rapid onboarding of multiple coalition partners across the mission arena whilst proactively controlling the risks associated with multi-party intelligence dissemination.
Attribute-based Access Control The MindLink security engine is a sophisticated and multi-layered access control system based on military-grade practices of secret attributes, roles, and security clearances.
This encourages information flow across the mission theatre though autonomous and devolved management of chat rooms, whilst ensuring that the governance and confidentiality of such highly-sensitive data is maintained.
Low Bandwidth MindLink Anywhere is architected and tested to operate in areas of poor connectivity or limited network coverage.
This enables consistent, realtime collaboration across all mission components including remote/forward deployed assets.
Lightweight Web Access Client MindLink Anywhere is a web-access client that can be run from any device with a web browser.
This offers mission partners a zero-footprint, always available, collaboration access point across the mission arena.
Highlights
- Classified Persistent Chat - This offers users collaborative spaces to chronicle and discuss information surrounding a topic of interest to support group collaboration. Rooted in the novel "Communities of Interest" paradigm advocated by the Intelligence Community. It segregates all aspects of the system - such as chat rooms, users, and content - into secure compartments to enforce strong access-control boundaries, define explicit data handling procedures, and mitigate spillage risks.
- Mission Focus - The MindLink platform is specifically designed to support critical use cases and ways of working across the modern mission theatre. It natively supports mission scenarios such as real-time coordination, watch-based teamwork, and incident management, and is engineered for use from remote or forward-deployed positions.
- Data-Centric Security - The MCE security engine is a sophisticated and multi-layered access control system based on military-grade practices of Attribute Based Access Control, including secret attributes, roles, and security clearances. It allows chat room access rights to be configured at multiple levels of privilege and granularity through expressive and attribute-based permission rules, using secret attributes and security clearances sourced from trusted directories.
