Description
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 accesses to that information. Attribution (i.e., the ability to attribute actions to certain individuals) 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. In order to identify problems that may occur when binding security attributes to information, tracking and/or auditing of these binding events must take place. This is an information flow requirement. Information flow control applies to applications like a CDS. An AS is not a CDS.
