Enum SecurityLevel 

pub enum SecurityLevel {
    Public,
    Internal,
    Medium,
    Confidential,
    Secret,
    TopSecret,
}

Hierarchical security classification levels for data and operations.

Security levels provide a standardized way to classify the sensitivity of data and determine appropriate protection measures. Higher levels require stronger security controls and more restrictive access policies.

Security Level Hierarchy

Levels are ordered from lowest to highest sensitivity:

Public

• Sensitivity: None
• Access: Unrestricted public access
• Protection: Minimal security controls
• Use Cases: Public documentation, marketing materials

Internal

• Sensitivity: Low
• Access: Internal organization members
• Protection: Basic access controls
• Use Cases: Internal communications, general business data

Medium

• Sensitivity: Moderate
• Access: Authorized personnel only
• Protection: Standard security measures
• Use Cases: Business plans, financial reports

Confidential

• Sensitivity: High
• Access: Need-to-know basis
• Protection: Strong encryption and access controls
• Use Cases: Customer data, proprietary information

Secret

• Sensitivity: Very High
• Access: Strictly controlled
• Protection: Advanced security measures
• Use Cases: Trade secrets, sensitive personal data

TopSecret

• Sensitivity: Maximum
• Access: Highest clearance only
• Protection: Maximum security controls
• Use Cases: Critical infrastructure, national security data

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for SecurityLevel

fn clone(&self) -> SecurityLevel

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for SecurityLevel

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for SecurityLevel

fn deserialize<__D>(__deserializer: __D) -> Result<Self, __D::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl Display for SecurityLevel

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Ord for SecurityLevel

fn cmp(&self, other: &SecurityLevel) -> Ordering

This method returns an Ordering between self and other.

fn max(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the maximum of two values.

fn min(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the minimum of two values.

fn clamp(self, min: Self, max: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Restrict a value to a certain interval.

impl PartialEq for SecurityLevel

fn eq(&self, other: &SecurityLevel) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl PartialOrd for SecurityLevel

fn partial_cmp(&self, other: &SecurityLevel) -> Option<Ordering>

This method returns an ordering between self and other values if one exists.

fn lt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests less than (for self and other) and is used by the < operator.

fn le(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests less than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the <= operator.

fn gt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests greater than (for self and other) and is used by the > operator.

fn ge(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests greater than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the >= operator.

impl Serialize for SecurityLevel

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.

impl Eq for SecurityLevel
