Explanation
In access control theory, the three foundational elements are: Subject (the entity-user, process, or system-requesting access), Object (the resource being accessed-a file, database, or device), and Rules (the policies or permissions that define what actions the subject may perform on the object). Together these form the basis of all access control decisions. 'Layers' and 'Permissions' are not the standard triad; permissions are an output of the rules, and layers describe depth of security architecture rather than access control elements.
