Does anybody have any ideas on how AFS could function in a classified 
     environment?  I have confidence that within a cell, access to
     classified and unclassified data can be well protected using proper
     ACLs.  While authentication information is encrypted between client
     and server, the actual data is not.  Might some sort of encryption box
     on each end work?
     
     I would also imagine that private leased lines would be necessary to
     communicate to other "secure" cells...?
     
     Any thoughts?

Another thing to worry about is that the cache in client machines is in
permanent storage, so they need to be physically secure and an individual
machine can't be used by people with access to different data.
