Getting a security ID (SID)

By getting the SID values for different handles, you can determine whether these handles identify different resources or the same resource.

To get an SID for a handle, call the KnHandleGetSidByHandle() function. To do so, the OCAP_HANDLE_GET_SID flag must be set in the handle permissions mask.
