Summary:Methods, apparatus and systems for controlling access to an object in a data processing system comprises: receiving a request to access the object from a task; classifying the access request into one of critical and non-critical classes in dependence on stored access control data associated with the object and the task; granting the task access to the object and storing data indicative of the access in an access log if the access is classified into the non-critical class; and in the event that the access is classified into the critical class, granting or denying the task access to the object in dependence on the contents of the access log and the stored access control data.
