Explanation:
Content-Dependent Access Control
“Just like the name sounds, access to objects is determined by the content within the object. This
is used many times in databases and the type of Web-based material a firewall allows…If a table
within the database contains information about employees’ salaries, the managers were not
allowed to view it, but they could view information about an employee’s work history. The content
of the database fields dictates which user can see specific information within the database tables.”
pg 161 Shon Harris: All-In-One CISSP Certification. Decisions will have to be made about the
content, therefore increasing processing overhead.
