    System security involves protecting computer resources like the CPU, memory, disk and data from unauthorized access. Authentication identifies each user and associates them with the programs they run. Protection controls user and program access to system resources based on access policies. Memory protection uses registers to map logical addresses to physical memory and prevent unauthorized access. Encryption scrambles files using keys to make them illegible without decryption. Recovery management plans and tests procedures to restore service if a component fails.

    system security

    Security refers to providing a protection


    system to computer system resources such
    as CPU, memory, disk, software programs
    and most importantly data/information
    stored in the computer system.

    If a computer program is run by an
    unauthorized user, then he/she may cause
    severe damage to computer or data stored
    in it.

    Protection refers to a mechanism
    which controls the access of programs,
    processes, or users to the resources
    defined by a computer system.

    Models of protection

    • Protection models represent the protected objects in a system,


    how users or subjects (their proxies in the computer system)
    may request access to them, how access decisions are made,
    and how the rules governing access decisions may be altered.

    • The access matrix model is the primary example of a protection


    model.
    In Memory protection, we have to protect the operating
    system from user processes and which can be done by
    using a relocation register with a limit register.

    Here, the relocation register has the value of the


    smallest physical address whereas the limit register has
    the range of the logical addresses.
    Memory
    protection These two registers have some conditions like each
    logical address must be less than the limit register.

    The memory management unit is used to translate the


    logical address with the value in the relocation register
    dynamically after which the translated (or mapped)
    address is then sent to memory.

    Encryption
    Encryption is a method of securing data by scrambling the bits of a computer's
    files so that they become illegible. The only method of reading the encrypted files
    is by decrypting them with a key; the key is unlocked with a password.

    Types of Encryption

    There are two types of encryptions schemes as listed below:

    Symmetric Key encryption Public Key encryption


    • Symmetric key encryption algorithm uses
    same cryptographic keys for both encryption
    Symmetric and decryption of cipher text.
    Key
    encryption
    • Public key encryption algorithm uses pair of
    keys, one of which is a secret key and one of
    which is public.
    Public Key • These two keys are mathematically linked with
    each other.

    Recovery Management is the process of
    planning, testing, and implementing the
    recovery procedures and standards
    required to restore service in the event
    of a component failure;

    Recovery
    Management either by returning the component to
    normal operation, or taking alternative
    actions to restore service
