The operating system maintains the binding of security attributes to information with sufficient assurance that the information attribute association can be used as the basis for automated policy actions.

Description
The term security label is often used to associate a set of security attributes with a specific information object as part of the data structure for that object (e.g., user access privileges, nationality, affiliation as contractor). A security label is defined as: the means used to associate a set of security attributes with a specific information object as part of the data structure for that object. Rationale for non-applicability: Resource constraints on mobile devices preclude implementation of this specific IA function. The applicability of this control may be reconsidered at a future date if subsequent generations of mobile devices are better able to support this control.
