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? OR is "need-to-know" a seperate element, like subject and object, in the MAC model? Thank you in advance. -- Subba Rao ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Old American Wild West saying: God created men but Colt made them equal.
