| Security attributes are abstractions representing the basic properties or characteristics of an entity (e.g., subjects and objects) with respect to safeguarding information.
Security attributes are typically associated with internal data structures and configuration (e.g., application deployment, logging, monitoring) within the application server and are used to enable the implementation of access control and flow control policies, reflect special dissemination, handling or distribution instructions, or support other aspects of the organizational information security policy.
If unauthorized entities were able to change security attributes, the integrity and/or confidentiality of the AS could be compromised.
