Goals of Protection•In one protection model,
computer consists of a collection of objects, hardware or software
•Each object has a unique name and can be accessed through a well-defined set of operations
•Protection problem - ensure that each object is accessed correctly and only by those processes that are allowed to do so

System Security Overview
Three main components of security:◦Confidentiality – protect information so it
does not fall into wrong hands◦Integrity – information modification done
through authorized means◦Availability – authorized users have access to
required information (for legitimate purposes)
IT security professionals refer to this as the CIA Triad

Principles of Protection•Guiding principle – principle of least
privilege▫Programs, users and systems should be given
just enough privileges to perform their tasks▫Limits damage if entity has a bug, gets abused▫Can be static (during life of system, during life
of process) ▫Or dynamic (changed by process as needed) –
domain switching, privilege escalation▫“Need to know” a similar concept regarding
access to data
11
![Page 12: Scis.regis.edu ● scis@regis.edu CS-430: Operating Systems Week 7 Dr. Jesús Borrego Lead Faculty, COS Regis University 1.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649ddd5503460f94ad603b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Principles of Protection (Cont.)•Must consider “grain” aspect
▫Rough-grained privilege management easier, simpler, but least privilege now done in large chunks For example, traditional Unix processes either
have abilities of the associated user, or of root▫Fine-grained management more complex,
more overhead, but more protective File ACL lists, RBAC
•Domain can be user, process, procedure
12
![Page 13: Scis.regis.edu ● scis@regis.edu CS-430: Operating Systems Week 7 Dr. Jesús Borrego Lead Faculty, COS Regis University 1.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649ddd5503460f94ad603b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Domain Structure•Access-right = <object-name,
rights-set>where rights-set is a subset of all valid operations that can be performed on the object
•Domain = set of access-rights
13
![Page 14: Scis.regis.edu ● scis@regis.edu CS-430: Operating Systems Week 7 Dr. Jesús Borrego Lead Faculty, COS Regis University 1.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649ddd5503460f94ad603b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Domain Implementation (UNIX)•Domain = user-id•Domain switch accomplished via file system
Each file has associated with it a domain bit (setuid bit) When file is executed and setuid = on, then user-id is set to
owner of the file being executed When execution completes user-id is reset
•Domain switch accomplished via passwords▫su command temporarily switches to another user’s
domain when other domain’s password provided•Domain switching via commands
▫sudo command prefix executes specified command in another domain (if original domain has privilege or password given)
14
![Page 15: Scis.regis.edu ● scis@regis.edu CS-430: Operating Systems Week 7 Dr. Jesús Borrego Lead Faculty, COS Regis University 1.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649ddd5503460f94ad603b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Domain Implementation (MULTICS)•Protection organized in a ring structure (0-7)•Let Di and Dj be any two domain rings
• If j < i Di Dj subset of Dj
15
![Page 16: Scis.regis.edu ● scis@regis.edu CS-430: Operating Systems Week 7 Dr. Jesús Borrego Lead Faculty, COS Regis University 1.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649ddd5503460f94ad603b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Multics Benefits and Limits•Ring / hierarchical structure provided
more than the basic kernel / user or root / normal user design
•Fairly complex -> more overhead•But does not allow strict need-to-know
▫Object accessible in Dj but not in Di, then j must be < i
▫But then every segment accessible in Di also accessible in Dj
16
![Page 17: Scis.regis.edu ● scis@regis.edu CS-430: Operating Systems Week 7 Dr. Jesús Borrego Lead Faculty, COS Regis University 1.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649ddd5503460f94ad603b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Access Matrix•View protection as a matrix (access matrix)•Rows represent domains•Columns represent objects•Access(i, j) is the set of operations that a process executing in Domaini can invoke on Objectj
Fig. 14.3 – Access matrix
17
![Page 18: Scis.regis.edu ● scis@regis.edu CS-430: Operating Systems Week 7 Dr. Jesús Borrego Lead Faculty, COS Regis University 1.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649ddd5503460f94ad603b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Use of Access Matrix• If a process in Domain Di tries to do “op” on
object Oj, then “op” must be in the access matrix
•User who creates object can define access column for that object
•Can be expanded to dynamic protection▫Operations to add, delete access rights▫Special access rights:
owner of Oi
copy op from Oi to Oj (denoted by “*”) control – Di can modify Dj access rights transfer – switch from domain Di to Dj
▫Copy and Owner applicable to an object▫Control applicable to domain object
18

Use of Access Matrix (Cont.)
•Access matrix design separates mechanism from policy▫Mechanism
Operating system provides access-matrix + rules If ensures that the matrix is only manipulated by
authorized agents and that rules are strictly enforced
▫Policy User dictates policy Who can access what object and in what mode
•But doesn’t solve the general confinement problem

Implementation of Access Matrix
•Generally, a sparse matrix•Option 1 – Global table
▫Store ordered triples <domain, object, rights-set> in table
▫A requested operation M on object Oj within domain Di -> search table for < Di, Oj, Rk > with M ∈ Rk
▫But table could be large -> won’t fit in main memory
▫Difficult to group objects (consider an object that all domains can read)
24
![Page 25: Scis.regis.edu ● scis@regis.edu CS-430: Operating Systems Week 7 Dr. Jesús Borrego Lead Faculty, COS Regis University 1.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649ddd5503460f94ad603b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Implementation of Access Matrix (Cont.)
•Option 2 – Access lists for objects▫Each column implemented as an access
list for one object▫Resulting per-object list consists of
ordered pairs <domain, rights-set> defining all domains with non-empty set of access rights for the object
▫Easily extended to contain default set -> If M ∈ default set, also allow access
25
![Page 26: Scis.regis.edu ● scis@regis.edu CS-430: Operating Systems Week 7 Dr. Jesús Borrego Lead Faculty, COS Regis University 1.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649ddd5503460f94ad603b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Implementation of Access Matrix (Cont.)•Each column = Access-control list for one
object Defines who can perform what operation
Domain 1 = Read, WriteDomain 2 = ReadDomain 3 = Read
•Each Row = Capability List (like a key)For each domain, what operations allowed on what objects
Object F1 – ReadObject F4 – Read, Write, ExecuteObject F5 – Read, Write, Delete, Copy
26
![Page 27: Scis.regis.edu ● scis@regis.edu CS-430: Operating Systems Week 7 Dr. Jesús Borrego Lead Faculty, COS Regis University 1.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649ddd5503460f94ad603b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Implementation of Access Matrix (Cont.)• Option 3 – Capability list for domains
▫ Instead of object-based, list is domain based▫ Capability list for domain is list of objects together
with operations allows on them▫ Object represented by its name or address, called a
capability▫ Execute operation M on object Oj, process requests
operation and specifies capability as parameter Possession of capability means access is allowed
▫ Capability list associated with domain but never directly accessible by domain Rather, protected object, maintained by OS and
accessed indirectly Like a “secure pointer” Idea can be extended up to applications
27
![Page 28: Scis.regis.edu ● scis@regis.edu CS-430: Operating Systems Week 7 Dr. Jesús Borrego Lead Faculty, COS Regis University 1.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649ddd5503460f94ad603b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Implementation of Access Matrix (Cont.)
•Option 4 – Lock-key▫Compromise between access lists and
capability lists▫Each object has list of unique bit
patterns, called locks▫Each domain as list of unique bit
patterns called keys▫Process in a domain can only access
object if domain has key that matches one of the locks
28
![Page 29: Scis.regis.edu ● scis@regis.edu CS-430: Operating Systems Week 7 Dr. Jesús Borrego Lead Faculty, COS Regis University 1.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649ddd5503460f94ad603b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Comparison of Implementations•Many trade-offs to consider
▫Global table is simple, but can be large▫Access lists correspond to needs of users
Determining set of access rights for domain non-localized so difficult
Every access to an object must be checked Many objects and access rights -> slow
▫Capability lists useful for localizing information for a given process But revocation capabilities can be inefficient
▫Lock-key effective and flexible, keys can be passed freely from domain to domain, easy revocation
29
![Page 30: Scis.regis.edu ● scis@regis.edu CS-430: Operating Systems Week 7 Dr. Jesús Borrego Lead Faculty, COS Regis University 1.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649ddd5503460f94ad603b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Comparison of Implementations (Cont.)
•Most systems use combination of access lists and capabilities▫First access to an object -> access list
searched If allowed, capability created and attached to process Additional accesses need not be checked
After last access, capability destroyed Consider file system with ACLs per file
30
![Page 31: Scis.regis.edu ● scis@regis.edu CS-430: Operating Systems Week 7 Dr. Jesús Borrego Lead Faculty, COS Regis University 1.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649ddd5503460f94ad603b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Access Control• Protection can be applied to non-file
resources• Oracle Solaris 10 provides role-
based access control (RBAC) to implement least privilege▫Privilege is right to execute
system call or use an option within a system call
▫Can be assigned to processes▫Users assigned roles granting
access to privileges and programs Enable role via password to gain its
privileges
▫Similar to access matrix
31
![Page 32: Scis.regis.edu ● scis@regis.edu CS-430: Operating Systems Week 7 Dr. Jesús Borrego Lead Faculty, COS Regis University 1.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649ddd5503460f94ad603b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Revocation of Access Rights•Various options to remove the access right
of a domain to an object▫Immediate vs. delayed▫Selective vs. general▫Partial vs. total▫Temporary vs. permanent
•Access List – Delete access rights from access list▫Simple – search access list and remove
entry▫Immediate, general or selective, total or
partial, permanent or temporary
32
![Page 33: Scis.regis.edu ● scis@regis.edu CS-430: Operating Systems Week 7 Dr. Jesús Borrego Lead Faculty, COS Regis University 1.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649ddd5503460f94ad603b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Revocation of Access Rights (Cont.)•Capability List – Scheme required to locate
capability in the system before capability can be revoked▫Reacquisition – periodic delete, with require
and denial if revoked▫Back-pointers – set of pointers from each
object to all capabilities of that object (Multics)▫Indirection – capability points to global table
entry which points to object – delete entry from global table, not selective (CAL)
▫Keys – unique bits associated with capability, generated when capability created
33
![Page 34: Scis.regis.edu ● scis@regis.edu CS-430: Operating Systems Week 7 Dr. Jesús Borrego Lead Faculty, COS Regis University 1.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649ddd5503460f94ad603b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Revocation of Access Rights (Cont.)
▫Keys: Master key associated with object, key
matches master key for access Revocation – create new master key Policy decision of who can create and modify
keys – object owner or others?
34
![Page 35: Scis.regis.edu ● scis@regis.edu CS-430: Operating Systems Week 7 Dr. Jesús Borrego Lead Faculty, COS Regis University 1.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649ddd5503460f94ad603b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Capability-Based Systems
•Hydra▫Fixed set of access rights known to and
interpreted by the system i.e. read, write, or execute each memory segment
User can declare other auxiliary rights and register those with protection system
Accessing process must hold capability and know name of operation
Rights amplification allowed by trustworthy procedures for a specific type
35
![Page 36: Scis.regis.edu ● scis@regis.edu CS-430: Operating Systems Week 7 Dr. Jesús Borrego Lead Faculty, COS Regis University 1.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649ddd5503460f94ad603b/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Capability-Based Systems (Cont’d)
▫Interpretation of user-defined rights performed solely by user's program; system provides access protection for use of these rights
▫Operations on objects defined procedurally – procedures are objects accessed indirectly by capabilities
▫Solves the problem of mutually suspicious subsystems
▫Includes library of prewritten security routines
36
![Page 37: Scis.regis.edu ● scis@regis.edu CS-430: Operating Systems Week 7 Dr. Jesús Borrego Lead Faculty, COS Regis University 1.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649ddd5503460f94ad603b/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Capability-Based Systems (Cont.) •Cambridge CAP System
▫Simpler but powerful▫Data capability - provides standard
read, write, execute of individual storage segments associated with object – implemented in microcode
▫Software capability -interpretation left to the subsystem, through its protected procedures Only has access to its own subsystem Programmers must learn principles and
techniques of protection
37
![Page 38: Scis.regis.edu ● scis@regis.edu CS-430: Operating Systems Week 7 Dr. Jesús Borrego Lead Faculty, COS Regis University 1.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649ddd5503460f94ad603b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Language-Based Protection•Specification of protection in a
programming language allows the high-level description of policies for the allocation and use of resources
•Language implementation can provide software for protection enforcement when automatic hardware-supported checking is unavailable
•Interpret protection specifications to generate calls on whatever protection system is provided by the hardware and the operating system
38
![Page 39: Scis.regis.edu ● scis@regis.edu CS-430: Operating Systems Week 7 Dr. Jesús Borrego Lead Faculty, COS Regis University 1.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649ddd5503460f94ad603b/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Protection in Java 2• Protection is handled by the Java Virtual Machine
(JVM)• A class is assigned a protection domain when it is
loaded by the JVM• The protection domain indicates what operations the
class can (and cannot) perform• If a library method is invoked that performs a
privileged operation, the stack is inspected to ensure the operation can be performed by the library
• Generally, Java’s load-time and run-time checks enforce type safety
• Classes effectively encapsulate and protect data and methods from other classes

Objectives•To discuss security threats and
attacks•To explain the fundamentals of
encryption, authentication, and hashing
•To examine the uses of cryptography in computing
•To describe the various countermeasures to security attacks
43
![Page 44: Scis.regis.edu ● scis@regis.edu CS-430: Operating Systems Week 7 Dr. Jesús Borrego Lead Faculty, COS Regis University 1.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649ddd5503460f94ad603b/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
The Security Problem•System secure if resources used and
accessed as intended under all circumstances▫Unachievable

Buffer Overflow Attack
•When a function is called, parameters are copied to the stack frame (next slide)
•Frame pointer is the start of the stack frame
•First field is the return address (where to pass control after function is executed)
•Attacker wants to modify the return address in the stack frame so a different program will execute
•See Modified Shell Code in next slides54

Great Programming Required? (Cont’d)
•Depending on bug, attack can be executed across a network using allowed connections, bypassing firewalls
•Buffer overflow can be disabled by disabling stack execution or adding bit to page table to indicate “non-executable” state▫Available in SPARC and x86▫But still have security exploits

Encryption•Constrains the set of possible receivers of a
message•Encryption algorithm consists of
▫Set K of keys▫Set M of Messages▫Set C of ciphertexts (encrypted messages)▫A function E : K → (M→C). That is, for each k K,
Ek is a function for generating ciphertexts from messages Both E and Ek for any k should be efficiently computable
functions▫A function D : K → (C → M). That is, for each k K,
Dk is a function for generating messages from ciphertexts Both D and Dk for any k should be efficiently computable
functions

Encryption (Cont.)
•An encryption algorithm must provide this essential property: Given a ciphertext c C, a computer can compute m such that Ek(m) = c only if it possesses k▫Thus, a computer holding k can decrypt
ciphertexts to the plaintexts used to produce them, but a computer not holding k cannot decrypt ciphertexts
▫Since ciphertexts are generally exposed (for example, sent on the network), it is important that it be infeasible to derive k from the ciphertexts
83

Symmetric Encryption• Same key used to encrypt and decrypt
▫ Therefore k must be kept secret• DES was most commonly used symmetric block-encryption algorithm
(created by US Govt)▫ Encrypts a block of data at a time▫ Keys too short so now considered insecure
• Triple-DES considered more secure▫ Algorithm used 3 times using 2 or 3 keys▫ For example▫
• 2001 NIST adopted new block cipher - Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)▫ Keys of 128, 192, or 256 bits, works on 128 bit blocks
• RC4 is most common symmetric stream cipher, but known to have vulnerabilities▫ Encrypts/decrypts a stream of bytes (i.e., wireless transmission)▫ Key is a input to pseudo-random-bit generator
Generates an infinite keystream

Asymmetric Encryption
•Public-key encryption based on each user having two keys:▫public key – published key used to encrypt data▫private key – key known only to individual user used to
decrypt data•Must be an encryption scheme that can be made
public without making it easy to figure out the decryption scheme▫Most common is RSA block cipher▫Efficient algorithm for testing whether or not a number
is prime▫No efficient algorithm is know for finding the prime

Asymmetric Encryption (Cont.)
•Formally, it is computationally infeasible to derive kd,N from ke,N, and so ke need not be kept secret and can be widely disseminated▫ke is the public key
▫kd is the private key▫N is the product of two large, randomly chosen
prime numbers p and q (for example, p and q are 512 bits each)
▫Encryption algorithm is Eke,N(m) = mke mod N, where ke satisfies kekd mod (p−1)(q −1) = 1
▫The decryption algorithm is then Dkd,N(c) = ckd mod N

Asymmetric Encryption Example
•For example, make p = 7 and q = 13•We then calculate
N = 7∗13 = 91 and (p−1)(q−1) = 72
•We next select ke relatively prime to 72 and< 72, yielding 5
•Finally, we calculate kd such that kekd mod 72 = 1, yielding 29

Asymmetric Encryption Example (Cont’d)
•We how have our keys▫Public key, ke,N = 5, 91
▫Private key, kd,N = 29, 91
• Encrypting the message 69 with the public key results in the cyphertext 62
•Cyphertext can be decoded with the private key▫Public key can be distributed in cleartext to
anyone who wants to communicate with holder of public key

Cryptography (Cont.)
•Note symmetric cryptography based on transformations, asymmetric based on mathematical functions▫Asymmetric much more compute
intensive▫Typically not used for bulk data
encryption

![Page 94: Scis.regis.edu ● scis@regis.edu CS-430: Operating Systems Week 7 Dr. Jesús Borrego Lead Faculty, COS Regis University 1.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649ddd5503460f94ad603b/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
Authentication•Constraining set of potential senders of a
message▫Complementary to encryption▫Also can prove message unmodified
•Algorithm components▫A set K of keys▫A set M of messages▫A set A of authenticators▫A function S : K → (M→ A)
That is, for each k K, Sk is a function for generating authenticators from messages
Both S and Sk for any k should be efficiently computable functions
94
![Page 95: Scis.regis.edu ● scis@regis.edu CS-430: Operating Systems Week 7 Dr. Jesús Borrego Lead Faculty, COS Regis University 1.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649ddd5503460f94ad603b/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
Authentication (Cont’d)
▫A function V : K → (M × A→ {true, false}). That is, for each k K, Vk is a function for verifying authenticators on messages Both V and Vk for any k should be efficiently
computable functions
95
![Page 96: Scis.regis.edu ● scis@regis.edu CS-430: Operating Systems Week 7 Dr. Jesús Borrego Lead Faculty, COS Regis University 1.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649ddd5503460f94ad603b/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
Authentication (Cont.)
•For a message m, a computer can generate an authenticator a A such that Vk(m, a) = true only if it possesses k
•Thus, computer holding k can generate authenticators on messages so that any other computer possessing k can verify them
•Computer not holding k cannot generate authenticators on messages that can be verified using Vk
96
![Page 97: Scis.regis.edu ● scis@regis.edu CS-430: Operating Systems Week 7 Dr. Jesús Borrego Lead Faculty, COS Regis University 1.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649ddd5503460f94ad603b/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
Authentication (Cont.)
•Since authenticators are generally exposed (for example, they are sent on the network with the messages themselves), it must not be feasible to derive k from the authenticators
•Practically, if Vk(m,a) = true then we know m has not been modified and that send of message has k▫If we share k with only one entity, know
where the message originated
97
![Page 98: Scis.regis.edu ● scis@regis.edu CS-430: Operating Systems Week 7 Dr. Jesús Borrego Lead Faculty, COS Regis University 1.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649ddd5503460f94ad603b/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
Authentication – Hash Functions•Basis of authentication•Creates small, fixed-size block of data
message digest (hash value) from m•Hash Function H must be collision
resistant on m▫ Must be infeasible to find an m ’ ≠ m such that H(m) = H(m ’)
•If H(m) = H(m ’), then m = m’▫ The message has not been modified
98
![Page 99: Scis.regis.edu ● scis@regis.edu CS-430: Operating Systems Week 7 Dr. Jesús Borrego Lead Faculty, COS Regis University 1.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649ddd5503460f94ad603b/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
Authentication – Hash Functions (Cont’d)•Common message-digest functions
include MD5, which produces a 128-bit hash, and SHA-1, which outputs a 160-bit hash
•Not useful as authenticators▫For example H(m) can be sent with a
message But if H is known someone could modify m to m’ and
recompute H(m’) and modification not detected So must authenticate H(m)

![Page 100: Scis.regis.edu ● scis@regis.edu CS-430: Operating Systems Week 7 Dr. Jesús Borrego Lead Faculty, COS Regis University 1.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649ddd5503460f94ad603b/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
Authentication - MAC•Symmetric encryption used in message-
authentication code (MAC) authentication algorithm
•Cryptographic checksum generated from message using secret key▫Can securely authenticate short values
• If used to authenticate H(m) for an H that is collision resistant, then obtain a way to securely authenticate long message by hashing them first
•Note that k is needed to compute both Sk and Vk, so anyone able to compute one can compute the other

Authentication – Digital Signature•Based on asymmetric keys and digital
signature algorithm•Authenticators produced are digital
signatures•Very useful – anyone can verify authenticity of
a message• In a digital-signature algorithm,
computationally infeasible to derive ks from kv
▫V is a one-way function▫Thus, kv is the public key and ks is the private
key
101
![Page 102: Scis.regis.edu ● scis@regis.edu CS-430: Operating Systems Week 7 Dr. Jesús Borrego Lead Faculty, COS Regis University 1.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649ddd5503460f94ad603b/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
Authentication – Digital Signature (Cont’d)•Consider the RSA digital-signature algorithm
▫Similar to the RSA encryption algorithm, but the key use is reversed
▫Digital signature of message Sks (m) = H(m)ks
mod N▫The key ks again is a pair (d, N), where N is the
product of two large, randomly chosen prime numbers p and q
▫Verification algorithm is Vkv(m, a) (akv mod N = H(m)) Where kv satisfies kvks mod (p − 1)(q − 1) = 1

Authentication (Cont.)
•Why authentication if a subset of encryption?▫Fewer computations (except for RSA
digital signatures)▫Authenticator usually shorter than
message▫Sometimes want authentication but not
confidentiality Signed patches et al
▫Can be basis for non-repudiation

Key Distribution
•Delivery of symmetric key is huge challenge▫Sometimes done out-of-band
•Asymmetric keys can proliferate – stored on key ring▫Even asymmetric key distribution
needs care – man-in-the-middle attack
104

Digital Certificates•Proof of who or what owns a public key•Public key digitally signed a trusted
party•Trusted party receives proof of
identification from entity and certifies that public key belongs to entity
•Certificate authority are trusted party – their public keys included with web browser distributions▫They vouch for other authorities via
digitally signing their keys, and so on

Implementation of Cryptography•Can be done at
various layers of ISO Reference Model▫ SSL at the Transport layer▫ Network layer is typically IPSec
IKE for key exchange Basis of Virtual Private
Networks (VPNs)
•Why not just at lowest level?▫ Sometimes need more knowledge
than available at low levels i.e. User authentication i.e. e-mail delivery

Encryption Example - SSL•Insertion of cryptography at one layer of
the ISO network model (the transport layer)
•SSL – Secure Socket Layer (also called TLS)
•Cryptographic protocol that limits two computers to only exchange messages with each other▫ Very complicated, with many variations
•Used between web servers and browsers for secure communication (credit card numbers)

Encryption Example – SSL (Cont’d)
•The server is verified with a certificate assuring client is talking to correct server
•Asymmetric cryptography used to establish a secure session key (symmetric encryption) for bulk of communication during session
•Communication between each computer then uses symmetric key cryptography

User Authentication• Crucial to identify user correctly, as protection systems depend
on user ID• User identity most often established through passwords, can be
considered a special case of either keys or capabilities• Passwords must be kept secret
▫ Frequent change of passwords▫ History to avoid repeats▫ Use of “non-guessable” passwords▫ Log all invalid access attempts (but not the passwords
themselves)▫ Unauthorized transfer
• Passwords may also either be encrypted or allowed to be used only once▫ Does encrypting passwords solve the exposure problem?
Might solve sniffing Consider shoulder surfing Consider Trojan horse keystroke logger How are passwords stored at authenticating site?

Passwords • Encrypt to avoid having to keep secret
▫ But keep secret anyway (i.e. Unix uses superuser-only readably file /etc/shadow)
▫ Use algorithm easy to compute but difficult to invert▫ Only encrypted password stored, never decrypted▫ Add “salt” to avoid the same password being encrypted to the
same value• One-time passwords
▫ Use a function based on a seed to compute a password, both user and computer
▫ Hardware device / calculator / key fob to generate the password Changes very frequently
• Biometrics▫ Some physical attribute (fingerprint, hand scan)
• Multi-factor authentication▫ Need two or more factors for authentication
i.e. USB “dongle”, biometric measure, and password

Implementing Security Defenses• Defense in depth most common theory – multiple layers of security• Security policy describes what is being secured• Vulnerability assessment compares real state of system / network
compared to security policy• Intrusion detection endeavors to detect attempted or successful
intrusions▫ Signature-based detection spots known bad patterns▫ Anomaly detection spots differences from normal behavior
Can detect zero-day attacks▫ False-positives and false-negatives a problem
• Virus protection▫ Searching all programs or programs at execution for known virus
patterns▫ Or run in sandbox so can’t damage system
• Auditing, accounting, and logging of all or specific system or network activities
• Practice safe computing – avoid sources of infection, download from only “good” sites, etc

Firewalling to Protect Systems and Networks
•A network firewall is placed between trusted and untrusted hosts▫The firewall limits network access between
these two security domains•Can be tunneled or spoofed
▫Tunneling allows disallowed protocol to travel within allowed protocol (i.e., telnet inside of HTTP)
▫Firewall rules typically based on host name or IP address which can be spoofed

Firewalling to Protect Systems and Networks (Cont’d)
•Personal firewall is software layer on given host▫Can monitor / limit traffic to and from the host
•Application proxy firewall understands application protocol and can control them (i.e., SMTP)
•System-call firewall monitors all important system calls and apply rules to them (i.e., this program can execute that system call)

Computer Security Classifications•U.S. Department of Defense outlines four
divisions of computer security: A, B, C, and D•D – Minimal security•C – Discretionary protection through auditing
▫Divided into C1 and C2 C1 cooperating users with the same level of
protection C2 allows user-level access control
•B – All the properties of C, however each object may have unique sensitivity labels▫Divided into B1, B2, and B3
•A – Uses formal design and verification techniques to ensure security
116
![Page 117: Scis.regis.edu ● scis@regis.edu CS-430: Operating Systems Week 7 Dr. Jesús Borrego Lead Faculty, COS Regis University 1.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649ddd5503460f94ad603b/html5/thumbnails/117.jpg)
Example: Windows 7• Security is based on user accounts
▫ Each user has unique security ID▫ Login to ID creates security access token
Includes security ID for user, for user’s groups, and special privileges
Every process gets copy of token System checks token to determine if access
allowed or denied• Uses a subject model to ensure access security
▫ A subject tracks and manages permissions for each program that a user runs
• Each object in Windows has a security attribute defined by a security descriptor▫ For example, a file has a security descriptor
that indicates the access permissions for all users

Example: Windows 7 (Cont.)•Win added mandatory integrity
controls – assigns integrity label to each securable object and subject▫Subject must have access requested in
discretionary access-control list to gain access to object
•Security attributes described by security descriptor▫Owner ID, group security ID,
discretionary access-control list, system access-control list
