Which type of access control model is commonly used in government and military systems, where access is based on a need-to-know basis?
- Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC)
- Discretionary Access Control (DAC)
- Mandatory Access Control (MAC)
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
Mandatory Access Control (MAC) is commonly used in government and military systems. In MAC, access to resources is based on the security classification assigned to the user and the security classification assigned to the resource. Users are only able to access resources for which they have clearance. This model ensures that access is based on a need-to-know basis, as users can only access resources that are deemed appropriate based on their clearance level.
