Reference monitor
In operating systems architecture, a reference monitor is a tamperproof, always-invoked, and small enough to be fully-tested and analyzed module that controls all software access to data objects or devices (verifiable). The reference monitor verifies the nature of the request against a table of allowable access types for each process on the system.
