This paper discusses how mandatory access mediation and discretionary access mediation are performed in the Trusted Mach (TMach) kemel, a system that uses message passing as its primary means of communication both between tasks and with the kernel. As a consequence, control of interprocess communication in the TMach kernel is a central concem whereas controlled sharing of segments is the central focus in trusted systems with a more traditional architecture.
