Description Aasmund Eikli 2004-08-04 00:30:12 UTC 
From: <Allon Stern> allon@fgm.com

In the document
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/mac-glossary.html

The line:
         sensitivity: Usually used when discussing MLS. A sensitivity level is a term used to describe how important or secret the data should be. As the sensitivity level increases, so does the importance of the data.

Is inaccurate. It should read "As the sensitivity level increases, so does the importance of the secrecy (or confidentiality) of the data".

The data doesn't necessarily become more important; rather the importance of not disclosing the data is increased.
