Each KasperskyOS-based solution has specific usage scenarios and is designed to counteract specific security threats. Nonetheless, there are some typical scenarios and threats encountered in many different solutions. This section describes the typical risks and threats, and contains a description of architectural patterns that can be employed to increase the security of a solution.
A security pattern (or template) describes a specific recurring security issue that arises in certain known contexts, and provides a well-proven, general scheme for resolving this kind of security issue. A pattern is not a finished project that can be converted directly into code. Instead, it is a solution to a general problem encountered in various projects.
A security pattern system is a set of security patterns together with instructions on their implementation, combination, and practical use when designing secure software systems.
Security patterns resolve security issues at different levels, beginning with patterns at the architectural level, including high-level design of the system, and ending with implementation-level patterns that contain recommendations on how to implement functions or methods.
This section describes the set of security patterns whose implementation examples are provided in KasperskyOS Community Edition.
Security patterns are described in a multitude of information security resources. Each pattern is accompanied by a list of the resources that were used to prepare its description.
