The purpose of this control is to prevent 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 network element. Control of information in shared resources is also referred to as object reuse. This requirement is applicable to network device management and is not applicable to the routing function. |
