The Biba model is a formal state transition system of computer security policy that describes a set of access control rules
designed to ensure data integrity. Data and subjects are grouped into ordered levels of integrity. The model is designed so that subjects may
not corrupt data in a level ranked higher than the subject, or be corrupted by data from a lower level than the subject.
