  2. Mandatory access control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandatory_access_control

    Mandatory access control. In computer security, mandatory access control (MAC) refers to a type of access control by which a secured environment (e.g., an operating system or a database) constrains the ability of a subject or initiator to access or modify on an object or target. [1] In the case of operating systems, the subject is a process or ...

  3. Role-based access control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Role-based_access_control

    In computer systems security, role-based access control (RBAC) [1][2] or role-based security[3] is an approach to restricting system access to authorized users, and to implementing mandatory access control (MAC) or discretionary access control (DAC). Role-based access control is a policy-neutral access control mechanism defined around roles and ...

  4. Capability-based security - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capability-based_security

    Capability-based security is a concept in the design of secure computing systems, one of the existing security models. A capability (known in some systems as a key) is a communicable, unforgeable token of authority. It refers to a value that references an object along with an associated set of access rights. A user program on a capability-based ...

  5. Computer access control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_access_control

    Computer access control. In computer security, general access control includes identification, authorization, authentication, access approval, and audit. A more narrow definition of access control would cover only access approval, whereby the system makes a decision to grant or reject an access request from an already authenticated subject ...

  6. Reference monitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_monitor

    Reference monitor. In operating systems architecture a reference monitor concept defines a set of design requirements on a reference validation mechanism, which enforces an access control policy over subjects' (e.g., processes and users) ability to perform operations (e.g., read and write) on objects (e.g., files and sockets) on a system. The ...

  7. Biba Model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biba_model

    Biba Model. The Biba Model or Biba Integrity Model developed by Kenneth J. Biba in 1975, [1] is a formal state transition system of computer security policy describing a set of access control rules designed to ensure data integrity. Data and subjects are grouped into ordered levels of integrity. The model is designed so that subjects may not ...

  8. LOMAC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOMAC

    LOMAC. Low Water-Mark Mandatory Access Control (LOMAC) is a Mandatory Access Control model which protects the integrity of system objects and subjects by means of an information flow policy coupled with the subject demotion via floating labels. In LOMAC, all system subjects and objects are assigned integrity labels, made up of one or more ...

  9. Lattice-based access control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice-based_access_control

    Lattice-based access control. In computer security, lattice-based access control (LBAC) is a complex access control model based on the interaction between any combination of objects (such as resources, computers, and applications) and subjects (such as individuals, groups or organizations). In this type of label-based mandatory access control ...
