1. A security enhanced data platform method comprising the steps of: providing a computer operating system; customizing computer operating system's kernel; replacing the computer operating system's kernel and core utilities with a multi-level access control system; providing an email and messaging server as a host for sending and receiving messages; allowing automation of email retention in compliance with a document retention policy; providing a primary subsystem; said primary subsystem is a document management system; providing a set of client side tools to specify classifications and compartments for selected areas of a document; separating document data from document metadata; allowing encrypted documents to be stored and information about those documents to be stored in a database; allowing for quick look up and access of secured documents; providing a way to save the document in format required by the primary subsystem in order to allow the primary subsystem to enforce rules and privileges dictated to the primary subsystem; monitoring and recording all activity within the primary subsystem; recording all changes to the document and making said changes available for audit; providing one or more supporting subsystems; a first subsystem is a security enhanced database management system; integrating said security enhanced database management system with the multi-level access control system; securing data in the database as a whole including securing tables in the database, the columns in the tables, the rows in the tables, or the individual cells of the tables; a second subsystem is a user authentication and authorization system; offering native enhanced security by enforcing privileges specified by the user authentication and authorization system; performing setup for a device including: logging in and setting up a user account on the email and messaging server; placing the user account in a device set up mode; said email and messaging server generating a five-digit number and presenting it on a user interface; said email and messaging server generating and storing a device unlock code; said email and messaging server generating and storing a key; placing the device into a setup mode; said device receiving a numeric password from a user; encrypting the numeric password using the device identifier (ID); computing SHA-512 hash value of the encrypted password and storing the hash value on the device; prompting user to enter the five-digit number provided by the email and messaging server; connecting the device to the email and messaging server via Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) or desktop synchronization software; sending the email and messaging server the entered five-digit number and the device ID; looking up the five-digit number and accepting the device ID by the email and messaging server; upon acceptance of the five-digit number, the email and messaging server storing the device ID for the user account; encrypting the key using the device ID and sending the encrypted key to the device; storing the encrypted key as an active key and as an archive of the original key by the device; encrypting the unlock code using the device ID and then computing SHA-512 hash value of the encrypted unlock code; sending the hash value of the encrypted unlock code to the device; storing the received hash value of the encrypted unlock code by the device; generating a device specific self-destruct code by the email and messaging server, and encrypting the device specific self-destruct code using the device ID; computing SHA-512 hash value of the encrypted device specific self-destruct code by the email and messaging server; sending the SHA-512 hash value of the encrypted device specific self-destruct code to the device; storing the SHA-512 hash value of the encrypted device specific self-destruct code by the device; and retrieving a permanent lock count from a configuration database by the device; encrypting the permanent lock count using the device ID and sending the SHA-512 hash value of the encrypted unlock code to the email and messaging server; and storing the SHA-512 hash value of the encrypted unlock code on the device; a third subsystem is a workflow engine; providing a runtime workflow engine used to route documents and data through a user defined approval process for actions on the documents or data; a fourth subsystem is a secure two-factor authentication subsystem; providing a secure two-factor authentication mechanism adding an additional authentication mechanism; running a computer application on the device; presenting a login screen on the device and prompting user to enter numeric password; computing SHA-512 hash value of the numeric password and validating the computed SHA-512 hash value of the numeric password against stored hash value on the device; in response to wrong password inputted, a check is made to determine how many times login has been attempted; if the attempt is greater than the number of allowed login failures, the user is notified that the application has been locked and is prompted for the unlock code; a fifth subsystem is a cryptographic engine; and providing data protection, data authentication, user authentication and vetting, and communications protection and authentication.
