The application server must bind security attributes to information to facilitate information flow policy enforcement.

Description
The application server enforces approved authorizations for controlling the flow of information within the system and between interconnected systems in accordance with applicable policy. Information flow control regulates where information is allowed to travel within an information system and between information systems (as opposed to who is allowed to access the information), without explicit regard to subsequent access to that information. Attribution is a critical component of a security concept of operations. The ability to identify source and destination points for information flowing in an information system, allows forensic reconstruction of events when required, and increases policy compliance by attributing policy violations to specific organizations/individuals. Binding security attributes to information allows policy enforcement mechanisms to act on that information and enforce policy. This is an information flow requirement. Information flow control applies to applications like a CDS. An AS is not a CDS
