relation between programs permissions and permissions of the files they use
 
I do not have a clear idea of how to set ownership and permissions for 'home-made' assembly programs and the data files they use. My main expectation is to be able to make the files accessible r or w or rw only to the programs.

Could someone describe a common, safe approach or point to relevant info on the subject.

Thank you for your help.

This may help http://rute.2038bug.com/node17.html.gz.
The main thing is (in your case) to ensure that the progs and files are owned by the same dedicated user and no other (ie group & other/world) perms are on.
eg
Code:
#prog perms
rwx------

#data file perms
rw-------

#ownerships: user, group
myuser mygroup
