Drivers

The drivers protect all the CA Access Control files and registry keys by performing the following tasks:

• Intercepting every request to open a file or registry key, terminate a process, and perform network activities
• Passing these requests to the CA Access Control Engine and receiving the decision of the Engine whether the request should be granted or denied
• Forwarding the decision to the original system call of the operating system, which then continues its processing based on the answer it received from the drivers.
