Abstract :
The potential for logical inference of high-level information based on lower-level visible data presents a threat to multilevel security. The author proposes a framework for studying these inference control problems, describes a representation for relevant semantics of the application, develops criteria for safety and security of a system to prevent these problems, and describes the functionality of the proposed classification tool in terms of a scenario for its use
