Description
The operating system 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) and without explicit regard to subsequent accesses to the information. Attribution is a critical component of a security concept of operations. Attribution (e.g., 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 when problems occur when binding security attributes to information, tracking problems and/or auditing of these events must occur.
