GLUG Meeting on 13th July, 4pm at KReSIT, IIT Campus, Powai.

Hello, 

I have a very basic question regarding mandatory access controls(MACs).  

Using the following diagram: 

---------------------         ---------------------
|    Subject         |        |     Object         |
---------------------         ---------------------
|    Clearance       |        |    Classification  |
|  Ex - Top Secret   |        |  Ex - Top Secret   |
|                    |        |                    |
---------------------         ---------------------


In the MAC model the "need-to-know" flag, restricts the subject to access the
object.  Is this flag, part of the subject's attributes or the object's
attributes? 

Thank you in advance.
