SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Ensures Rust code adheres to a curated set of high-assurance patterns, enabling deterministic behavior, proper validation, and auditable security decisions throughout the codebase.

Core Features & Use Cases

Maintains a documented catalogue of patterns (must-use contracts, validate-at-construction, trust gates, security findings as data, compile-time path binding, fixed-size deterministic layout, and debug-log discipline) and guides design reviews.
Applies patterns to security-relevant types such as access control decisions, audit events, or trust boundary crossings, during design, coding, and reviews.
Provides practical guidance and triggers when the user mentions related concepts to promote consistent adoption.

Quick Start

Apply these patterns to Rust code to enforce must_use contracts, validate-at-construction, and auditable security types.

FAQPage Schema

How do I enforce high-assurance security patterns in Rust code?▼

High-assurance Rust patterns are enforced by applying must-use contracts, validate-at-construction, and trust gates to security-relevant types like access controls and audit events during design and code reviews.

What are trust gates and how do they secure Rust applications?▼

Trust gates are high-assurance patterns that enforce auditable security decisions at trust boundary crossings, ensuring validation occurs before data or control flows pass between trusted and untrusted zones in Rust projects.

How do I implement validate-at-construction for Rust security types?▼

Validate-at-construction is implemented by enforcing rules that guarantee security-relevant types, such as access control decisions and audit events, are validated immediately upon creation rather than during later use.

Does this high-assurance Rust approach work for existing code reviews?▼

Yes, the high-assurance Rust approach works for existing code reviews by applying a curated catalogue of security patterns, including must-use contracts and debug-log discipline, to evaluate and secure current codebases.

What is compile-time path binding in Rust and when do I need it?▼

Compile-time path binding is a high-assurance pattern that binds paths at compilation for deterministic behavior, needed when securing Rust projects requiring fixed-size deterministic layouts and auditable security decisions.
