- Abstract
- We researchsession problem of access control implementation correctness, which is the most important modern security mechanism used to prevent confidential information leakage (basing on sessions creating and separation through different confidential levels information handling support). We did a reasonable conclusion that session (as access subject) can't be included into access policy (which allows users to work in different sessions with the same user account) because such sessions access control implementation is potentially dangerous. We review session access control method based on session assigning with user account, implemented similar to suggested newly created files access control method. This technical solution is approved and patented. It differs from other methods not only by extremely administration simplicity (because of setting security labels only to user account while creating access policy), but also by access policy correct implementation in general.
