UNIT 4 APPLICATION SECURITY 2

• Distinguish Operating System (OS) component from architecture.

An operating system (OS) is a collection of software that plays a vital role in the

management of the computer hardware and also manages its programs. It conceals the

complexity of the device, manages the resources which play a critical role in the computation,

and provides protection (Barney, 2010). On the other hand, computer architecture is a set of rules

and ways that explains the organization, functioning, and implementation of the computer

system. It merely describes the programming and capability of the computer system. The

architecture determines the users' needs concerning the structure and designs them to be met

within the existing technological constraints.

• Describe the underlying Windows OS architecture.

The basic windows OS architecture consists of several layers. First is the electrical and

electronic component which contains a simple electric component which supplies power in the

computer. Second is the digital logic level which is the element which store, manipulate, and

transmit data in a binary form (Barney, 2010). The machine level is also the party of the

architecture and contains the essential elements of a computer such as a processor and memory.

There is also the software which directs all the internal operations of the computer and the

application software which solves the user-oriented problems.

Discuss access control and authorization.

Access control is a process which involves the management and identity of the systems.

It is concerned with the kind of data to be protected from certain users of the computer. The

other aspect of access control is how the operating systems enforce the policy on access control

(Marchenko, 2014). On the other hand, the organization is where it is checked whether the user

of a computer system has permission to do or access something.
