Abstract:
In the past Mandatory Access Control (MAC) systems have used very
rigid policies which were implemented in particular protocols and
platforms. As MAC systems became more widely deployed, additional
flexibility in mechanism and policy will be required. While
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 which need to be accommodated, it is unlikely
that use of a single security label format and model will be viable.
To allow multiple MAC mechanisms and label formats to co-exist in a
network, this document proposes a registry of label format
specifications. This registry would contain label format identifiers
and would provide for the association of each such identifier with a
corresponding extensive document document outlining the exact syntax
and use of the particular label format.
