Specifying the Channels

Language:

The security administrator specifies one channel for each group name compartment. Each channel uses the same compartment bits that are assigned to the compartment words in the SENSITIVITY LABELS: WORDS: section. The prefix is defined as DISTRIBUTE_ONLY_TO. The suffix is defined as (NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT REQUIRED). The following is the proposed wording for handling instructions:

DISTRIBUTE_ONLY_TO group-name (NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT REQUIRED)

The channel specifications in the following example create this wording.

Note - No compartments are assigned to the prefixes and suffixes. The prefixes and suffixes are used to define the channels.
