System and method for accessing information resources using cryptographic authorization permits

A node associated with one or more channels comprising:

• a partitioning communication system (PCS) that separates the one or more channels from each other;
• a plurality of partitioned resources, wherein at least one partitioned resource on the node communicates messages over the one or more channels based on a channel access privilege;
• a hardware processor that processes a cryptographic authorization permit (CAP) that is signed by two or more authorities;
• and
• a controller configured to grant access to at least one of the one or more channels by validating the signature of each one of the two or more authorities signing the CAP.

A secure information system, comprising:

• a first hardware node that is partitioned to a plurality of first partitions;
• a second hardware node that is partitioned to a plurality of second partitions;
• one or more channels for communicating messages between the first node and second node;
• a
• partitioning communication system (PCS) that separates the one or more channels from each other comprising a controller, wherein at least one of the plurality of first partitions on the first node communicates messages over the one or more channels based on a first channel access privilege and at least one of the plurality of second partitions on the second node communicates messages over the one or more channels based on a second channel access privilege, wherein the controller is configured to grant access to a channel by validating a cryptographic authorization permit (CAP) that is signed by two or more authorities.
