Example

1. Given a Transmittal Root that has restricted access (no access by non-U.S. citizens) and is for official use only, its Access information might be
   access_constraints = "NOFORN";
   use_constraints = "FOUO";
   security. system = "United States Department of Defense";
   security. classification = "SECRET";
   security. handling = "Downgrade on 31 Dec 1999";
   

FAQs

What is the purpose of this class?

This class provides the FGDC-compatible metadata describing the security classification and/or any access or usage constraints that apply to its containing SEDRIS object. It supports the creation of SEDRIS transmittals that contain classified or sensitive data.

How is the security classification of a SEDRIS object related to the security classifications of its component objects, or to the security classification of its containing object?

In general, the rules for security classification metadata for the SEDRIS objects within a transmittal are the same as the rules for security classification markings of the paragraphs and sections within a hierarchically structured classified document. The security classification of an object must be at least as high as the highest of the security classifications of its components, and may be higher if the aggregation of the components allows additional information to be inferred. Therefore, the security classification of an object must be no higher than the security classification of its containing object. Unclassified objects need not have an Access component, unless they are unclassified components of a classified containing object.
