The Struct security model obtains access to structural data elements.
A PSL file containing a description of the Struct security model is located in the KasperskyOS SDK at the following path:
toolchain/include/nk/basic.psl
Struct security model object
The basic.psl file contains a declaration that creates a Struct security model object named struct. Consequently, inclusion of the basic.psl file into the solution security policy description will create a Struct security model object by default.
A Struct security model object does not have any parameters and cannot be covered by a security audit.
It is not necessary to create additional Struct security model objects.
Struct security model methods
The Struct security model contains expressions that provide access to structural data elements. To call these expressions, use the following constructs:
dictionary>.<field name> – "get access to dictionary field". The type of returned data corresponds to the type of dictionary field.List | Set | Sequence | Array>.[<element number>] – "get access to data element". The type of returned data corresponds to the type of elements. The numbering of elements starts with zero. When out of bounds of dataset, the expression terminates with an error and the Kaspersky Security Module returns the "denied" decision.HandleDesc>.handle – "get SID". Returns values of the Handle type. (For details on the correlation between handles and SID values, see "Resource Access Control").HandleDesc>.rights – "get handle permissions mask". Returns values of the UInt32 type.Parameters of interface methods are saved in a special dictionary named message. To obtain access to an interface method parameter, use the following construct:
message.<interface method parameter name>
The parameter name is specified in accordance with the IDL description.
To obtain access to structural elements of parameters, use the constructs corresponding to expressions of the Struct security model.
To use expressions of the Struct security model, the security event description must be sufficiently precise so that it corresponds to IPC messages of the same type (for more details, see "Binding methods of security models to security events"). IPC messages of this type must contain the defined parameters of the interface method, and the interface method parameters must contain the defined structural elements.
