2 * A security context is a set of security attributes
3 * associated with each subject and object controlled
4 * by the security policy. Security contexts are
5 * externally represented as variable-length strings
6 * that can be interpreted by a user or application
7 * with an understanding of the security policy.
8 * Internally, the security server uses a simple
9 * structure. This structure is private to the
10 * security server and can be changed without affecting
11 * clients of the security server.

23 * A security context consists of an authenticated user
24 * identity, a role, a type and a MLS range.
