Explain the difference between discretionary access control and mandatory access control?..

Answer / Vinayak

Discretionary Access Control (DAC) is a method that allows the owner of an object to determine who can access it. DAC systems are based on permissions granted by the owner or administrator. Mandatory Access Control (MAC), on the other hand, does not allow users to change access control decisions - these are based on security levels and labels assigned to both subjects and objects.
