}
qihse_key_distribution_destroy(kd);QIHSE implements a pervasive, military-grade classification and compartmentation system designed to mirror US/Five Eyes/SCI clearance levels. This cell-level authorization is embedded natively across all 8 storage engines (Vector, Document, Graph, KV, Columnar, Time-Series, Full-Text Search, and Event Stream) to ensure zero data leakage.
Every record in QIHSE is tagged with a mandatory classification (uint16) and sci_compartment (uint16) bitmask. Access is verified dynamically at the engine level during query execution.
QIHSE_CLASS_UNCLASSIFIED(0)QIHSE_CLASS_RESTRICTED(1)QIHSE_CLASS_CONFIDENTIAL(2)QIHSE_CLASS_SECRET(3)QIHSE_CLASS_TOP_SECRET(4)
By default, if no qihse_user_t authentication context is provided (i.e., passed as NULL), the system defaults to full access. This ensures seamless out-of-the-box usage for users who do not require military-grade security clearances.
#include "qihse_auth.h"
// 1. Initialize the Auth sub-system
qihse_auth_init();
// 2. Create a user context with specific clearances
// Example: Operator with TOP SECRET (4) clearance and SCI compartment access bitmask (0)
qihse_user_t* u_operator = qihse_auth_create_user(
1001, // User ID
QIHSE_ROLE_OPERATOR, // Role
QIHSE_CLASS_TOP_SECRET, // Max Classification Clearance
0 // SCI Compartment Bitmask
);
// 3. Insert classified data into the system
// E.g. Inserting into the Time-Series DB with SECRET classification
qihse_tsdb_insert(tsdb, series_id, timestamp, value, QIHSE_CLASS_SECRET, 0);
// 4. Querying automatically enforces constraints
// Data exceeding the user's clearance is silently dropped from the query pipeline.
double avg = qihse_tsdb_average_range_user(tsdb, start_ts, end_ts, u_operator);
// 5. Cleanup
qihse_auth_destroy_user(1001);By design, hardware token enforcement can be applied natively at the system level.
- God-Mode Operators (Role 0): Strictly required to present a hardware token. There is no bypass for this policy.
- Analysts (Role 1): Strictly required to present a hardware token to access any data, including unclassified data.
- Configurability: When creating a user via
qihse_auth_create_user, an Operator (or a delegate withcan_create_users == true) can define whether that specific session/account mandates hardware token authentication via therequires_hw_tokenboolean.
Instead of bottle-necking all identity management through the God-Mode Operator, the qihse_user_t state struct includes a can_create_users boolean flag. This allows the Operator to mint sub-administrators capable of managing credentials for isolated enclaves without breaking the compartmentation firewall.
Furthermore, QIHSE provides a master-level override mechanism:
bool qihse_auth_modify_user(...)
This routine mandates explicit QIHSE_ROLE_OPERATOR privileges. It allows the Operator to aggressively override the internal settings of any target user on the fly. The Operator can seamlessly manipulate aliases, inject new passwords, revoke or mandate hardware token policies, and grant or strip downstream user creation capabilities—all audited automatically beneath a thread-safe mutex.
Users can be instantiated with an optional password. The system will issue the following warning if the password fails complexity checks (< 6 characters), designed with military operational awareness in mind:
[WARNING] The password assigned to User ID X is pathetically weak (under 6 characters). If an adversary is trying passwords at this terminal, you got bigger problems than a weak password. If they are running brute force against it and nobody is there to stop them, your security is doing an outstanding job, keep at it.
This ensures operators maintain realistic threat modeling. All passwords, regardless of length, are passed through a SHA-256 hash derivative and never stored in plaintext within the qihse_user_t state struct.
