  3. Lattice Denning model Chinese Wall Lattice: partial order ≤ such that all pairs ( x , y ) have Clark-Wilson greatest lower bound (GLB) and least upper bound (LUB), Principles i.e. ∀ x , y : ∃ z : z ≤ x ∧ z ≤ y (i.e. z is a lower bound) and ∀ k : k ≤ x ∧ k ≤ y ⇒ k ≤ z (i.e. z is the greatest lower bound) vice versa for least upper bound - 3 -

  4. Authorized flows (policy) An information flow from x to y is authorized (permitted) Denning only if lvl ( x ) ≤ lvl ( y ) . model explicit flow from x i to y : Chinese Wall Clark-Wilson y := f ( x 1 ,..., x n ) Principles permitted if LUB ( x 1 ,..., x n ) ≤ y implicit flow from x to y i : if p ( x ) then y 1 := ... ; ··· ; y n :=. . . ; endif permitted if x ≤ GLB ( y 1 ,..., y n ) (and each flow in the then part is permitted) Lattice: can always find and compare with LUB/GLB. Transitivity: sequence of flows z 0 → ··· → z n permitted if each flow z i → z i + 1 is permitted. - 4 -
