- In article <01GQZHO60H7K001E1V@orbsen.ucg.ie>,
- ELEHUMBORG@ORBSEN.UCG.IE (It's more fun to compute) asks what the /SECRECY
- and /INTEGRITY qualifiers to various commands in VMS MAIL do.
-
- They are latent hooks for nondiscretionary access control support in VMS.
- There are other such hooks, such as the UPGRADE and DOWNGRADE privileges,
- for supporting a lattice model of nondiscretionary security and integrity.
- I think these things actually come into play in the Secure VMS (SEVMS)
- product, but I'm not sure.
