What is intransitive noninterference?

Abstract
The term "intransitive noninterference" refers to the information flow properties required of systems like down-graders, in which it may be legitimate for information to flow indirectly between two users but not directly. We examine the usual definition of this property in terms of a modified purge function, and show that this is a distinctly weaker property than an alternative we derive from considerations of determinism.
