Protection & Security

Recognize security policy and mechanism.

   In computer science, protection mechanisms are built into a computer architecture to        support the enforcement of security policies. A simple definition of a security policy 

   set who may use what information in a computer system.Mechanism for controlling the    

   access of programs, processes, or users the resources defined by the computer

   system. the protentation mechanism ensures the enforcement of a certain policy.

 Elaborate authentic basic.

Password

        A password is a secret word or string of characters that is used for authentication, to prove identity or gain access to a resource (example: an access code is a type of password). The password should be kept secret from those not allowed access.

Artifact

     In natural science and signal processing, an artifact is any error in the perception or  representation of any visual or aural information introduced by the involved equipment or technique(s).

         In computer science, digital artifacts are anomalies introduced into digital signals as a    

            result of digital processing.

         In microscopy, artifacts are sometimes introduced during the processing of samples into   

            slide form. See Artifact (microscopy)

Biometric

       Biometrics consists of methods for uniquely recognizing humans based upon one or more

          intrinsic physical or behavioral traits. In computer science, in particular, biometrics is

          used as a form of identity access management and access control. It is also used to

          identify individuals in groups that are under surveillance.

Elaborate protection concept and access control.

·         For your PC security suite is now available a variety of programs that promise more often than full protection from malware, with acontrol virus and malware, but also with some research andcomplex in real time. 

·         Major challenge for all manufacturers areoffering solutions that are effective yet easy to use, and if you do not require excessive resources to the system.

·         At the time all the leading manufacturers of security software suite that provides a guide as well as the traditional functions of malwaredetection and protect your PC also features accessories forprotection of data and optimization of the operating system. 

·         The concept of security was also extended to the area where this malware is not in the strict sense. But, in a sense, a proper backup data fall within the concept of security.

File System Management

File Sharing

• The system that an operating system or program uses to organize and keep track of files.
• For example, a hierarchical file system is one that uses directories to organize files into a tree structure.
• Although the operating system provides its own file management system, you can buy separate file management systems.
• These systems interact smoothly with the operating system but provide more features, such as improved backup procedures and stricter file protection.

File Sharing

• Sharing of files on multi-user systems is desirable
• Sharing may be done through a protection scheme
• On distributed systems, files may be shared across a network
• Network File System (NFS) is a common distributed file-sharing method

Directory Structure

• A collection of nodes containing information about all files.
• Both the directory structure and the files reside on disk.
• Backups of these two structures are kept on tapes

File Mapping

• File mapping is the association of a file's contents with a portion of the virtual address space of a process.
• The system creates a file mapping object (also known as a section object) to maintain this association.
• A file view is the portion of virtual address space that a process uses to access the file's contents.
• File mapping allows the process to use both random input and output (I/O) and sequential I/O.
• It also allows the process to work efficiently with a large data file, such as a database, without having to map the whole file into memory.
• Multiple processes can also use memory-mapped files to share data.
• Processes read from and write to the file view using pointers, just as they would with dynamically allocated memory.
• The use of file mapping improves efficiency because the file resides on disk, but the file view resides in memory.
• Processes can also manipulate the file view with the Virtual Protect function.
