Multi-Level Security Labeling Statements ======================================== Because there are many options for MLS labeling, the examples show a limited selection of statements, however there is a simple policy that will build shown in the [`levelrange`](cil_mls_labeling_statements.md#levelrange) section. sensitivity ----------- Declare a sensitivity identifier in the current namespace. Multiple [`sensitivity`](cil_mls_labeling_statements.md#sensitivity) statements in the policy will form an ordered list. **Statement definition:** (sensitivity sensitivity_id) **Where:** <table> <colgroup> <col width="25%" /> <col width="75%" /> </colgroup> <tbody> <tr class="odd"> <td align="left"><p><code>sensitivity</code></p></td> <td align="left"><p>The <code>sensitivity</code> keyword.</p></td> </tr> <tr class="even"> <td align="left"><p><code>sensitivity_id</code></p></td> <td align="left"><p>The <code>sensitivity</code> identifier.</p></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> **Example:** This example declares three [`sensitivity`](cil_mls_labeling_statements.md#sensitivity) identifiers: (sensitivity s0) (sensitivity s1) (sensitivity s2) sensitivityalias ---------------- Declares a sensitivity alias identifier in the current namespace. See the [`sensitivityaliasactual`](cil_mls_labeling_statements.md#sensitivityaliasactual) statement for an example that associates the [`sensitivityalias`](cil_mls_labeling_statements.md#sensitivityalias) identifier. **Statement definition:** (sensitivityalias sensitivityalias_id) **Where:** <table> <colgroup> <col width="25%" /> <col width="75%" /> </colgroup> <tbody> <tr class="odd"> <td align="left"><p><code>sensitivityalias</code></p></td> <td align="left"><p>The <code>sensitivityalias</code> keyword.</p></td> </tr> <tr class="even"> <td align="left"><p><code>sensitivityalias_id</code></p></td> <td align="left"><p>The <code>sensitivityalias</code> identifier.</p></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> **Example:** See the [`sensitivityaliasactual`](cil_mls_labeling_statements.md#sensitivityaliasactual) statement. sensitivityaliasactual ---------------------- Associates a previously declared [`sensitivityalias`](cil_mls_labeling_statements.md#sensitivityalias) identifier to a previously declared [`sensitivity`](cil_mls_labeling_statements.md#sensitivity) identifier. **Statement definition:** (sensitivityaliasactual sensitivityalias_id sensitivity_id) **Where:** <table> <colgroup> <col width="29%" /> <col width="70%" /> </colgroup> <tbody> <tr class="odd"> <td align="left"><p><code>sensitivityaliasactual</code></p></td> <td align="left"><p>The <code>sensitivityaliasactual</code> keyword.</p></td> </tr> <tr class="even"> <td align="left"><p><code>sensitivityalias_id</code></p></td> <td align="left"><p>A single previously declared <code>sensitivityalias</code> identifier.</p></td> </tr> <tr class="odd"> <td align="left"><p><code>sensitivity_id</code></p></td> <td align="left"><p>A single previously declared <code>sensitivity</code> identifier.</p></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> **Example:** This example will associate sensitivity `s0` with two sensitivity alias's: (sensitivity s0) (sensitivityalias unclassified) (sensitivityalias SystemLow) (sensitivityaliasactual unclassified s0) (sensitivityaliasactual SystemLow s0) sensitivityorder ---------------- Define the sensitivity order - lowest to highest. Multiple [`sensitivityorder`](cil_mls_labeling_statements.md#sensitivityorder) statements in the policy will form an ordered list. **Statement definition:** (sensitivityorder (sensitivity_id ...)) **Where:** <table> <colgroup> <col width="25%" /> <col width="75%" /> </colgroup> <tbody> <tr class="odd"> <td align="left"><p><code>sensitivityorder</code></p></td> <td align="left"><p>The <code>sensitivityorder</code> keyword.</p></td> </tr> <tr class="even"> <td align="left"><p><code>sensitivity_id</code></p></td> <td align="left"><p>One or more previously declared <code>sensitivity</code> or <code>sensitivityalias</code> identifiers..</p></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> **Example:** This example shows two [`sensitivityorder`](cil_mls_labeling_statements.md#sensitivityorder) statements that when compiled will form an ordered list. Note however that the second [`sensitivityorder`](cil_mls_labeling_statements.md#sensitivityorder) statement starts with `s2` so that the ordered list can be built.
