Security

Thus securing a system involves following measures :

1. Preventing unauthorized access i.e. hiding the information from unauthorisation users.

2. Protection the system from malicious damage or misuse. Such intential misuse can be of the following kinds :

· Theft of information

· Unauthorized modification of data

· Unauthorized destruction of data

3. Protection the system against accidental misuse.

4. The term security is often associated with protection with however, there is a difference between them. Protection is defined as guarding the user information against user within the system whereas security is defined as guarding the user information against unauthorized user outside the system

Multi Level Queue Scheduling (MLQ)

Multi Level Queue Scheduling (MLQ) · Multilevel queue scheduling classifies the processes according to their types for example, a multilevel queue scheduling algorithm makes a common. · In this scheduling ready queue is divided into various queue that are called sub queues. A subqueue is a distinct operational queue · The process are permanently assigned to subqueues, generally based on some property of the process such as memory size,priority or process type · Each subqueue has its process sucheduling algorithm. For example interactive process at the foreground may use round robin scheduling while batch jobs at the background may use the FCFS method · For example, consider a system with four different queues 1. ...

Shortest Job First Scheduling (SJF)

Shortest Job First Scheduling (SJF) · SJF ia also known as shortest-job-next(SJN) algorithm and is faster than FCFS. · In SJF, the process with the least estimated execution time is selected from the ready queue for execution. · For this, SJF algorithm associates with each process, the length of its next CPU burst. When the CPU is available, it is assigned to the process that has the smallest next CPU burst. · If tow processes have the same length of next CPU burst ,FCFS scheduling algorithm is used to break the tie. · SJF algorithm can be preemptive or non-preemptive. Non-preeptive SJF · In non-preemptive SJF, scheduling, CPU is always assigned to the ...

Monolithic Architecture

Monolithic Architecture Monolith means composed all in one piece. The Monolithic application describes a single-tiered software application in which different components combined into a single program from a single platform. Components can be: Authorization — responsible for authorizing a user Presentation — responsible for handling HTTP requests and responding with either HTML or JSON/XML (for web services APIs). Business logic — the application’s business logic. Database layer — data access objects responsible for accessing the database. Application integration — integration with other services (e.g. via messaging or REST API). Or integration with any other Data sources. Notification module — responsible for sending email notifications whenever needed. Example for Monolithic Approach Consider an example of Ecommerce application, that authorizes customer, takes an order, check products inventory, authorize payment and ships ordered products. This applicat...

Micro kernel architecture

Micro kernel architecture What is Kernel? A kernel is an important part of an OS that manages system resources. It also acts as a bridge between the software and hardware of the computer. It is one of the first program which is loaded on start-up after the bootloader. The Kernel is also responsible for offering secure access to the machine's hardware for various programs. It also decides when and how long a certain application uses specific hardware. What is Microkernel? Microkernel is a software or code which contains the required minimum amount of functions, data, and features to implement an operating system. It provides a minimal number of mechanisms, which is good enough to run the most basic functions of an operating system. It allows other parts of the operating system to be implemented as it does not impose a lot of policies. Microkernels and their user environments are usually implemented in the C++ or C programming languages with a little bit of assembly. Ho...
