What is Cynara in the Tizen ecosystem?

Cynara is a fast privilege access control service that acts as a central point for checking and managing application permissions in Tizen-based systems.

Is this skill suitable for automated security CI/CD?

Absolutely. It can be integrated into development workflows to catch privilege mismatches or security policy violations early in the lifecycle.

Can I use this skill for IoT device provisioning?

Yes, it is specifically designed to handle security policy validation for TizenRT and ARTIK IoT devices during the provisioning and auditing phases.

How does this skill help with SMACK auditing?

It assists in analyzing SMACK (Simplified Mandatory Access Control Kernel) labels and policies to ensure proper process isolation and prevent unauthorized inter-app resource access.

Does it support Tizen manifest validation?

Yes, the skill can analyze Tizen app manifests to ensure declared privileges (public, partner, or platform) match the expected security configuration.
