Produktbeschreibung
It is widely agreed among computer science experts
that spyware poses a dangerous threat to computer
users'' privacy. It is also widely agreed among these
experts that mandatory access control (MAC) is a
valuable security model that provides valuable
security, namely in the fields of data
confidentiality and data integrity (data
authorization). Finally, it is a fact that the
Microsoft Windows operating system (OS) from
Microsoft Corporation is the world''s most used OS.
But how can this valuable security model (MAC) be
used to address data confidentiality problems in the
world''s most used OS (Microsoft Windows)? The author
Filipe Governa performs a market review, showing an
overview of past work by briefly analyzing existing
MAC implementations, with a deeper analysis of and
strong focus on the most relevant one for this work -
Microsoft Windows Integrity Mechanism (WIM) in
Microsoft Windows Vista -, and answers this question
by developing and describing a concept for fighting
tracking software types of spyware with MAC in
Microsoft Windows Vista using WIM. The book is
addressed to IT professionals in general and
security experts/researchers in particular.
