Abstract:
   In the past Mandatory Access Control (MAC) systems have used very
   rigid policies which were hardcoded into the particular protocol and
   platform.  As MAC systems are more widely deployed additional
   flexibility in mechanism and policy is required.  Where traditional
   trusted systems implemented Multi-Level Security (MLS) and integrity
   models, modern systems have expanded to include technologies such as
   type enforcement.  Due to the wide range of policies and mechanisms
   it has proven through past efforts to be virtually impossible to
   accomodate all parties in one security label format and model.

   To allow multiple MAC mechanisms and label formats in a network, this
   document proposes a registry of label format specifications.  This
   registry contains several identifiers to accomodate both integer and
   string preferences and associates those identifiers with an extensive
   document outlining the exact syntax and use of the particular label
   format.
