Subject: Question about MACs
Date: Sat, 12 Jul 2003 13:41:13 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030712174113.GL29762@cablespeed.com> (raw)
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.
