Abstract
In operation of a computing device, a secure handle is allocated to a process to enable the process to use a resource allocated to another process. The secure handle ensures that the process is not able to identify the resource and that further access to the resource is inhibited after the process has terminated any use of the resource enabled by the allocation of the secure handle.
