The purpose of this control is to prevent information, including encrypted representations of information, produced by the actions of a prior user/role (or the actions of a process acting on behalf of a prior user/role) from being available to any current user/role (or current process) obtaining access to a shared system resource (e.g., registers, main memory, secondary storage) after the resource has been released back to the operating system. Shared resources include memory, input/output queues, and network interface cards.
Rationale for non-applicability: For the purposes of this SRG, a mobile OS is assumed to support a single security domain. There is no interface to systems at a different security level. |
