One or more rules of the security policy are then used to decide whether to permit the particular subject to access the particular object. The method further comprises providing one or more distinct audible sounds for a user associated with the particular subject, wherein each audible sound represents specified information pertaining to the decision of whether or not to permit access to the particular object.
