Example

1. Given a <Transmittal Root> that has restricted access (no access by non-U.S. citizens) and is for official use only, its <Access> information might be
   access_constraints = SE_RESTR_CODE_RESTRICTED;
   use_constraints = SE_RESTR_CODE_OTHER_RESTRICTIONS;
   other_constraints = "For Official Use Only";
   security. classification = SE_SEC_CL_CODE_SECRET;
   security. user_note = "No access by non-U.S. citizens";
   security. classification_system = "United States Department of Defense";
   security. handling_description = "Downgrade on 31 Dec 2004";
   use_limitation = "";
   

FAQs

What is the purpose of this class?

This class supports the creation of SEDRIS transmittals that contain classified or sensitive data.

How is the security classification of a SEDRIS object related to the security classifications of its component objects, or to the security classification of its containing object?

In general, the rules for security classification metadata for the SEDRIS objects within a transmittal are the same as the rules for security classification markings of the paragraphs and sections within a hierarchically structured classified document. The security classification of an object shall be at least as high as the highest of the security classifications of its components, and may be higher if the aggregation of the components allows additional information to be inferred. Therefore, the security classification of an object shall be no higher than the security classification of its containing object. Unclassified objects need not have an <Access> component, unless they are unclassified components of a classified containing object.

Fields Notes

access_constraints

 The access_constraints field expresses access constraints
 applied to assure the protection of privacy or intellectual
 property, and any special restrictions or limitations on
 obtaining the resource being described by the given instance
 of <Access>.

use_constraints

 The use_constraints field expresses constraints applied to
 assure the protection of privacy or intellectual property,
 and any special restrictions or limitations or warnings on
 using the resource being described by the given instance of
 <Access>.

other_constraints

 The other_constraints field specifies other restrictions and
 legal prerequisites for accessing and using the resource
 being described by the given instance of <Access>.

security

 The security field specifies the security classification for the
 given data object.

use_limitation

 If non-empty, the use_limitation field specifies a limitation
 affecting the fitness for use of the resource being described by the
 given instance of <Access>.
