Abstract

This paper describes the implementation of an enforcementmodule for file system security implemented as partof a security architecture for distributed systems which enforcesa centrally administered security policy under theWindows NT operating system platform. The mechanismprovides mandatory access control, encryption, and auditingon an individual file basis across distributed systemswhile being fully transparent to both users and applicationprograms and functioning regardless of the type of file systemor its attachment mechanism.
