The DASH project at UC Berkeley is studying problems arising in the design of large, high-performance distributed systems, and is building an experimental system. The system's major design goals are centered in three areas: 1) IPC performance, 2) global architecture, and 3) local architecture. In each of these areas, vertically integrated mechanisms are used to achieve design goals, while an open system structure is maintained where possible. This report describes the motivation and principles of the DASH project, and sketches the current design of the DASH system.

In general, secure communication in a distributed system that spans physically insecure networks and hosts must be implemented using cryptography. Software hnplementations of cryptographic algorithms such as DES are much slower than typical network bandwidths. However, fast hardware implementations of these algorithms are being developed [4,61 and are projected to have encryption speeds comparable to network bandwidths (i z , 10-100 megabits per second). Current efforts at increasing the performance of hardware encryption are directed largely at increasing the speed of encryption within the device itself [5]. Less attention is being paid to the efficiency of the interface between the cryptographic hardware and the rest of the computer system.
