Embodiment Construction

[0018] Exemplary Operating Environment

[0019] Figure 1 illustrates one example of a computing system environment 100 suitable for implementing the present invention. Computing system environment 100 is only one example of a suitable computing environment and is not intended to suggest any limitation as to the scope of use or functionality of the invention. Neither should the computing environment 100 be interpreted as having any dependency or requirement relating to any one or combination of components illustrated in the exemplary operating environment 100 .

[0020] The invention is operational with numerous other general purpose or special purpose computing system environments or configurations. Well-known computing systems, environments and / or configurations suitable for use with the present invention include, but are not limited to: personal computers, server computers, handheld or laptop devices, tablet devices, multiprocessor systems, microprocessor-based systems, ...

Abstract

Described are security critical data containers for platform code, comprising a Get container and Set container that allow data to be marked as security critical for critical usage of that data, but left unmarked for non-critical usage. The number of critical methods in the code is reduced, facilitating better code analysis. A container's method may be marked as security critical, with the only access to the data via the method. By using a generic class for a Get container, access to the critical data only occurs through the property on the class, which is marked as critical. The field pointing to the generic class instance need not be critical, whereby initialization or existence checking may remain non-critical. The Set container handles security critical situations such as data that controls whether code can elevate permissions; a set method is marked as critical, while other methods can be accessed by non-critical code.
