Type Enforcement

Type Enforcement is a security technique used in computer systems to regulate how different types of data and programs interact. It assigns specific "types" or categories to all processes and files, then enforces rules about which types can communicate or access each other. This helps prevent unauthorized activities, such as malicious programs modifying important files or unauthorized users accessing sensitive data. By controlling interactions based on these types, Type Enforcement enhances system security and isolates processes, reducing the risk of security breaches while allowing legitimate operations to proceed smoothly.
