Abstract
A general framework is developed in which various mandatory access
control security models that allow changes in security levels can be
formalized. These models form a Boolean algebra. The framework is
expanded to include models that allow n-person rules necessary
for discretionary access controls in an industrial security setting. The
resulting framework is a distributive lattice
