Manual Analysis


Manual analysis involves starting at the highest level handling method and determining whether it can actually be applied. If not, then the subsequent methods must be considered.

Identifying trusted writers and excluded writers can be done automatically, so the main effort here is on determining whether sanitization is possible and identifying the sanitization method. This is a fairly ad hoc process, so we examine it relative to our integrity analysis results in Section 4.

If sanitization is not possible, then expressing a denial for this exception or policy modifications are the remaining options. Both of these must be done manually at present.
