Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The access matrix is a general model of access control that grants or denies access to a file or database management system based on a set of pre-defined permissions for each user or system entity. The access matrix is used to define a security policy that controls who can access what resources and in what mode (read-only, read-write, execute) within the system. The other options, VFS, compatibility ticket, and inode, are all specific components of different operating systems or network protocols and are not directly related to access control.
