A Lattice Model of the General Confidentiality Policies

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) An information flow policy is defined as a set of information flow rules among security-classes. Implementations of such flow control systems sually adopt fixed structures of security-classes such as multilevel security. In an environment in which secrets are dynamically generated, and permissions are frequently changed, such fixed structure however does not work. We need to change the structure dynamically based on attributes of confidential information but not to adjust the secrets to fixed security-classes. This paper proposes a method that derives an information flow rule from confidentiality policy, a set of attributes of all secrets. The adequacy of the method is explained by semantics of secrets, and its properties are proved in a mathematical manner. The proposed method provides a lattice-based flow rules. We try to reduce the size of the lattice. Also,
we show that any information flow policies can be interpreted as a confidentiality policy, and that the lattice derived by Denning from the information flow policy is same with the lattice derived from the interpreted confidentiality policy.
