The history and evolution of Mandatory Access Controls

Here’s an interesting post from the Security Engineering Research Group blog, a research group based in Pakistan that specialises in Trusted Computing issues, where they have an in-depth look at the history of MAC, Mandatory Access Control, from the very beginnings in 1967 to the present day, where the Trusted Computing Group is one player, in particular the Mobile Phone Working Group which has defined the Mobile Trusted Module, a specialised version of the Trusted Platform Module.
It’s an interesting and detailed reference article, and I’ve added the blog to my reading list.
