A privilege is simply a conjunction of disjunctions of 'Principal's, i.e., a 'Component'. We say that a piece of code containing a singleton 'Clause' owns the 'Principal' composing the 'Clause'. However, we allow for the more general notion of ownership of a clause, or category, as to create a privilege-hierarchy. Specifically, a piece of code exercising a privilege @P@ can always exercise privilege @P'@ (instead), if @P' => P@. (This is similar to the DLM notion of \"can act for\".) Hence, if a piece of code with certain privileges implies a clause, then it is said to own the clause. Consequently it can bypass the restrictions of the clause in any label. Note that the privileges form a partial order over logicla implication (@=>@), such that @'allPrivTCB' => P@ and @P => 'noPriv'@ for any privilege @P@. Hence, a privilege hierarchy which can be concretely built through delegation, with 'allPrivTCB' corresponding to the /root/, or all, privileges from which all others may be created. More specifically, given a privilege @P'@ of type 'DCPriv', and a privilege description @P@ of type 'DCPrivDesc', any piece of code can use 'delegatePriv' to \"mint\" @P@, assuming @P' => P@. -} module DCLabel.Privs ( DCPrivDesc , DCPriv , noPriv , dcDelegatePriv , dcOwns , canFlowToP ) where import DCLabel.Core import DCLabel.Privs.TCB import qualified Data.Set as Set -- | Given a privilege and a privilege description turn the privilege -- description into a privilege (i.e., mint).
