Security issues in OS
Security issues
- The os security issues is critical issue.
- Each processes determines whether it has control of a system resource exclusively or whether it is isolated from the other processes or whether it shares resource common to set of processes.
- the os then configures when a resource is isolated from one process and a resource is shared with a defined set of processes.
- The os should also have the flexibility to change this configuration when needed to full fill the requirement all the processes.
- For example , a process has 32 memory blocks at an instance and the os configures the system accordingly.
- The os should provide protection mechanism and implement a system administrator(s) - defined security policy.
- An application software programmer can find a hole in the protection mechanism and an unauthorized access.
