receiving security policy definitions of multiple, distinct security policies;
presenting labels of the multiple, distinct security policies, each security policy specifying criteria that govern use of

the labels include usage abstractions that describe situations in which to use the security policies without describing details
of the associated security mechanisms, the usage abstractions being included in the security policy definitions and being
presented prior to receiving a selection corresponding to at least one of the multiple security policies;
receiving input specifying a selected security policy; and
securing a first document according to the selected security policy.
