A Framework for Implementing Dynamically Modified Least Privilege Security Policy
Least privilege mechanism can provide a reasonable degree of security assurance for secure operating systems.This paper described a framework for implementing dynamically modified least privilege security policy
which combined role’s duty separation property and domain’s function separation property.Under the control of its new capability mechanism based on a process’s executable image
current role and current domain
it restricted the process to the minimum amount of privileges within these contexts.This paper illustrated its implementation in ANSHENG OS v4.0
a copyrighted secure operating system satisfying all the specified requirements of Criteria class 4
"Structured-Protection"
in GB17859-1999 (equally
the B2 level in TCSEC) in China.Thus it demonstrates that this framework can help enforcing dynamically least privilege control on a secure operating system
while still providing a flexible efficient system.
