!!! Overview
In computer security, [{$pagename}] or [MAC] refers to a type of [Access Control Model] by which the operating system constrains the ability of a [Digital Subject] or initiator to access or generally perform some sort of operation on an object or [SP] objects.
In practice, a [Digital Subject] is usually a process or thread; objects are constructs such as files, directories, TCP/UDP ports, shared memory segments, etc. [Digital Subject] and objects each have a set of security attributes.
Whenever a [Digital Subject] attempts to access an object, an [Authorization] rule enforced by the operating system kernel examines these security attributes and decides whether the access can take place. Any operation by any [Digital Subject] on any object will be tested against the set of authorization rules (aka [Policy]) to determine if the operation is allowed.
[{$pagename}] or [MAC] is sometimes termed non-[Discretionary Access Control].
