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.
