`COMPUTERSECURITY


2/20

` Computer security is a branch of computer technologyknown as information security as applied to computers andnetworks. The objective of computer security includesprotection of information and property from theft,

corruption, or natural disaster, while allowing theinformation and property to remain accessible andproductive to its intended users. The term computer systemsecurity means the collective processes and mechanismsby which sensitive and valuable information and servicesare protected from publication, tampering or collapse by

unauthorized activities or untrustworthy individuals andunplanned events respectively.

` The technologies of computer security are based on logic. As security isnot necessarily the primary goal of most computer applications,designing a program with security in mind often imposes restrictions onthat program's behavior.

` There are 4 approaches to security in computing, sometimes acombination of approaches is valid:

` Trust all the software to abide by a security policy but the software isnot trustworthy (this is computer insecurity).

` Trust all the software to abide by a security policy and the software isvalidated as trustworthy (by tedious branch and path analysis forexample).

` Trust no software but enforce a security policy with mechanisms thatare not trustworthy (again this is computer insecurity).

` Trust no software but enforce a security policy with trustworthyhardware mechanisms.

` Security Architecture can be defined as the design

artifacts that describe how the security controls

(security countermeasures) are positioned, and

how they relate to the overall informationtechnology architecture. These controls serve the

purpose to maintain the system's quality

attributes, among them confidentiality, integrity,

availability, accountability and assurance.[1]

` Hardware based or assisted computer security

offers an alternative to software-only computer

security. Devices such as dongles may be

considered more secure due to the physicalaccess required in order to be compromised .


6/20

` One use of the term computer security refers totechnology to implement a secure operating system.Such ultra-strong secure operating systems are basedon operating system kernel technology that canguarantee that certain security policies are absolutelyenforced in an operating environment. An example ofsuch a Computer security policy is the Bell-LaPadulamodel. The strategy is based on a coupling of specialmicroprocessorhardware features, often involving thememory management unit, to a special correctly

implemented operating system kernel.

` If the operating environment is not based on a secureoperating system capable of maintaining a domain forits own execution, and capable of protectingapplication code from malicious subversion, and

capable of protecting the system from subverted code,then high degrees of security are understandably notpossible. While such secure operating systems arepossible and have been implemented, mostcommercial systems fall in a 'low security' category

because they rely on features not supported by secureoperating systems (like portability, and others)


8/20

` Within computer systems, two security models

capable of enforcing privilege separation are

access control lists (ACLs) and capability-based

security. The semantics of ACLs have beenproven to be insecure in many situations, for

example, the confused deputy problem


9/20

` Computer security is critical in almost any

technology-driven industry which operates on

computer systems. Computer security can also be

referred to as computer safety. The issues ofcomputer based systems and addressing their

countless vulnerabilities are an integral part of

maintaining an operational industry.[3]


10/20

` Security in the cloud is challenging[citation needed],

due to varied degree of security features and

management schemes within the cloud entitites. In

this connection one logical protocol base need toevolve so that the entire gamet of components

operates synchronously and securely[original

research?].

` A hackeris a person who breaks into computers

and computer networks for profit, in protest, or

because they are motivated by the challenge.[1]

The subculture that has evolved around hackers isoften referred to as the computer underground but

it is now an open community.[2]

` information is a strategic resource` a significant portion of organisational budget is spent

on manageing information` there are many types of information

` have several security related objectives confidentiality (secrecy) - protect info value integrity - protect info accuracy availabilty - ensure info delivery

` threats to information security various surveys, with results of order: 55% human error 10% disgruntled employees 10% dishonest employees 10% outsider access

` A computer virus is a computer program that cancopy itself[1] and infect a computer. A true virus canspread from one computer to another (in some form ofexecutable code) when its host is taken to the target

computer; for instance because a user sent it over anetwork or the Internet, or carried it on a removablemedium such as a floppy disk, CD, DVD, orUSBdrive.[2]

` Viruses can increase their chances of spreading to

other computers by infecting files on a network filesystem or a file system that is accessed by anothercomputer.[3][4]
