The Bell and La Padula Security Model

John Rushby

Draft Technical Note, June 1986

Abstract

A precise description is given of the Bell and La Padula security model using modern notation. The development faithfully follows that of the original presentation (Mitre, 1973 and 1976). The paper is intended to provide a basis for more exact, formal, and scientific discussion of the model than has been the case heretofore.
