Abstract
A stackable filesystem architecture that curtails data theft and ensures file integrity protection. In this architecture, processes are grouped into ranked filesystem views, or 'security domains.' Preferably, an order theory algorithm is utilized to determine a proper domain in which an application is run. In particular, a root domain provides a single view of the filesystem enabling transparent filesystem operations. Each security domain transparently creates multiple levels of stacking to protect the base filesystem, and to monitor file accesses without incurring significant performance overhead. By combining its layered architecture with view separation via security domains, the filesystem maintains data integrity and confidentiality.
