Your work is subject to security restrictions. Restrictions that are specific to Trusted Extensions include the label range of the system, your clearance, and your choice of a single-level or multilevel session. As the following figure illustrates, several features distinguish a system that is configured with Trusted Extensions from an Oracle Solaris system.
