Abstract:
In the past Mandatory Access Control (MAC) systems have used very
rigid policies which were hardcoded into the particular protocol and
platform. As MAC systems are more widely deployed additional
flexibility in mechanism and policy is required. Where traditional
trusted systems implemented Multi-Level Security (MLS) and integrity
models, modern systems have expanded to include technologies such as
type enforcement. Due to the wide range of policies and mechanisms
it has proven through past efforts to be virtually impossible to
accomodate all parties in one security label format and model.
To allow multiple MAC mechanisms and label formats in a network, this
document proposes a registry of label format specifications. This
registry contains several identifiers to accomodate both integer and
string preferences and associates those identifiers with an extensive
document outlining the exact syntax and use of the particular label
format.
