DESCRIPTION

9       SolarisTM  Trusted  Extensions  software is a specific configuration of
10       the Solaris Operating System (Solaris OS). Solaris  Trusted  Extensions
11       (Trusted  Extensions)  provides labels for local objects and processes,
12       for the desktop and windowing system, for zones and file  systems,  and
13       for network communications. These labels are used to implement a Multi‐
14       level Security (MLS) policy that  restricts  the  flow  of  information
15       based  on label relationships. In contrast to Discretionary Access Con‐
16       trol (DAC) based on ownership,  the  MLS  policy  enforced  by  Trusted
17       Extensions is an example of Mandatory Access Control (MAC).

21       disabled (but not configured) by the labeld(1M) service, identified  by
22       the FMRI:
