Title: Operating system security: importance, methodology and implications
Creator
Subject
Description: As the world becomes increasingly more reliant on computer-based systems, there comes an increased need for better security measures to combat bad actors. Operating systems play a major role in securing sensitive information such as cryptographic data, private user information, and system files. In this paper, I outline the importance of operating system security, analyze case studies of major exploits and the prevention methods designed to mitigate such attacks, and the implications of operating system security on both hardware and user-level software. Research into new methodologies for secure systems is also explored and how it can affect the design and implementation of operating systems in the future., Honors Thesis Advisor, Dr. Weifeng Chen.
