Abstract
A method for accessing a protected file system includes receiving a request from a process to access the file system, the request including a requesting process identification and a requesting process name; decrypting an ACL to obtain ACL process names, ACL process identifications, and ACL process file checksums; allowing the process access to the file system if the requesting process name matches a corresponding ACL process name and the requesting process identification matches a corresponding ACL process identification; or allowing the process access to the file system if the requesting process identification does not match a corresponding ACL process identification but a calculated process file checksum matches a corresponding ACL process file checksum. In one embodiment, the ACL information can be stored in a key ring.
