CA ControlMinder includes the following B1 Orange Book features: security levels, security categories, and security labels.
  • Accessors and resources in the database can be assigned a
    security level
    . The security level is an integer between 1 and 255. An accessor can gain access to a resource only if the accessor has a security level equal to or greater than the security level assigned to the resource.
  • Accessors and resources in the database can belong to one or more
    security categories
    . An accessor can access a resource only if the accessor belongs to all of the security categories assigned to the resource.
  • A
    security label
    is a name that associates a particular security level with a set of zero or more security categories. Assigning a user to a security label gives the user both the security level and any security categories associated with the security label.
