Abstract: Means and methods of securing protected system files in a data processing system are disclosed, wherein the information determining access rights of system users to the protected systems files remains at all times within a secure processor. Provision is also made for allowing the display or labeling of protected data files only when markings consistent with the security level of such files are also displayed or included in the label. Furthermore, provision is also made for limiting the access rights of users to protected system files based on a comparison between the formats associated with said files and the function or subsystem performing operations on behalf of the users.

Hierarchical security mechanism for dynamically assigning security levels to object programs
Peter Willy Markstein,Alan Levi Tritter +1 more
- 30 Dec 1976
TL;DR: In this paper, a hierarchy of security levels organized as a hierarchy is established by both problem programmers, and the operating system are then controlled by the operating systems, which allows a program to specify a predetermined security level for other programs which it invokes, while at the same time being subject to security restraints placed on it either by a higher priority level invoking program or by operating system.
