Question
Problem 48E
Show that the set 5 of security classes (A, C) is a lattice, where A is a positive integer representing an authority class and C is a subset of a finite set of compartments, with (A1, C1) ≼ (A2, C2) if and only if A1 ≤ A2 and C1 ⊆ C2. [Hint: First show that (S, ≼ ) is aposet and then show that the least upper bound and greatest lower bound of (A1, C1) and (A2, C2) are (max(A1, A2), C1 U C2) and (min(A1, A2), C1 ∩ C2). respectively.]
Solution
The first step in solving 9.6 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Problem 48EShow that the set 5 of security classes (A, C) is a lattice, where A is a positive integer representing an authority class and C is a subset of a finite set of compartments, with (A1, C1) ≼ (A2, C2) if and only if A1 ≤ A2 and C1 ⊆ C2. [Hint: First show that (S, ≼ ) is aposet and then show that the least upper bound and greatest lower bound of (A1, C1) and (A2, C2) are (max(A1, A2), C1 U C2) and (min(A1, A2), C1 ∩ C2). respectively.]
