Summary:A method for providing restricted access to hardware component interfaces (HWCIs) of a network device (1) by one or more software components (SWCs) of said network device (1), wherein an access to a hardware component interface (HWCI) requested by a software component (SWC) is permitted by a mandatory access control, MAC, mechanism implemented as part of the network device's (1) operating system (OS) on the basis of a MAC security policy (MAC-SP) comprising access rights defined as access relations between software component security labels (SWC-SL) assigned to software component types and hardware component interface security labels (HWCI-SL) assigned to hardware component interface types.
