Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lattice-based access control is a mandatory access control (MAC) mechanism, where security policies are defined by a lattice structure. In this system, the access decision is based on the clearance level of the user and the classification of the object being accessed. The user's clearance is usually granted by an administrator and is based on the user's job role or security clearance level. The system ensures that users can only access objects that are at their clearance level or lower in the lattice structure. This makes it a strong and secure access control mechanism for sensitive and high-security environments.
