NTFS Documentation: Security Descriptor Attribute

Interest

Allow the system to protect the file against unauthorized access. This file attribute may be non-resident because its stream is likely to grow. Fortunately, NTFS is not an encrypted filesystem, so for the moment, we don't care about access rights under Linux :-)=).

Layout of the stream

We should find in it at least 3 kinds of information:

The owner of the file
Who can access the file
Which activities of the file will be audited

Questions

What is the exact layout of the stream?
