Question

1. (10 pts) Consider the security levels TS, S, C, and U ordered as follows: Let C1, C2, and C3 be the categories. Consider the rights r (read) and w (write) that a subject can have over an object. In each of the following situations, specify which type of access (read, write, both, or none) is allowed. Explain. a. Paul, cleared for (TS,IC, C3]), wants to access a document classified (S, C2, Ca). b. Anna, cleared for (C, {C3)), wants to access a document classified (C, fC2]) c. Jesse, cleared for (S, C3]), wants to access a document classified (C, C3). d. Sammi, cleared for (TS, 1C1, C3), wants to access a document classified (C, C). e. Robin, who has no clearances (and so works at the U level), wants to access a document classified (C,C2)
