NSA looks to Linux for virtual security 
Software emulation firm VMware announced it has teamed 
up with researchers at the National Security Agency to 
create a nearly crack-proof computer that can place 
sensitive data in virtual vaults inside the PC. The 
concept, assuming it works, would streamline the methods 
intelligence agencies use to manage data. At present, 
the NSA--the military surveillance arm of the United 
States intelligence community--physically separates 
networks carrying data of a particular classification. 
For example, top-secret data might be kept on a different 
computer than data classified merely as sensitive 
material. Sometimes, for workers to have access to the 
information they need, up to six different computers can 
be on a single desk.
