[cap-talk] Mandatory Access Control (was: What's "Discretionary Security")

[Karp, Alan H]

Just in case anyone thought MLS was dead, here's a quote from an
internal HP newsletter.

"For government and commercial customers who need multi-level security
there are several new tools."

Also, see

Unfortunately, the audio didn't come through on my machine.  There is an
interesting (but clearly incorrect?) definition of
mandatory/discretionary access control on slide 2.

I don't know if these documents are for internal use only, but the
mandatory access control of our web server will keep you from getting
them if they are :)
