In response, researchers developed <strong>formal models of access control<\/strong> that mathematically proved security properties. Two of the most influential were <strong>Bell-LaPadula<\/strong> and <strong>Biba<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This post explains what these models do, why they were necessary, and how they laid the groundwork for information assurance, multilevel security, and system certification frameworks that persist to this day.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2>\ud83d\udd12 Bell-LaPadula (1973): Confidentiality First<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Creators:<\/strong> David Elliott Bell and Leonard J.
