TRUSTED_EXTENSIONS(7) Standards, Environments, and Macros

NAME

trusted_extensions - Trusted Extensions

DESCRIPTION

Trusted Extensions software is a specific configuration of the
Operating System. Trusted Extensions provides labels for local
objects and processes, for zones and file systems, and for network
communications. These labels are used to implement a Multilevel
Security (MLS) policy that restricts the flow of information based on
label relationships. In contrast to Discretionary Access Control
(DAC) based on ownership, the MLS policy enforced by Trusted
Extensions is an example of Mandatory Access Control (MAC).


By default, Trusted Extensions software is disabled. It is enabled
and disabled (but not configured) by the labeld(8) service,
identified by the FMRI:

svc:/system/labeld:default


The system must be rebooted after enabling or disabling labeld to
activate or deactivate Trusted Extensions software.
