| Mechanisms:
- The device shall support defining information flow control policies which identify constraints on the flow of information in and out of the device, including in particular IA and SC mechanisms that must be applied to information flows in order for them to be permissible. See Notes on Access Control for a discussion and examples of information flow control.
- The ability to define an information flow control policy shall be restricted to privileged users.
