The various processes in an operating system must be protected from one another’s activities. For that purpose, various mechanisms exist that can be used to ensure that the files, memory segments, CPU, and other resources can be operated on by only those processes that have gained proper authorization from the operating system. In this chapter, we examine the problem of protection in great detail and develop a unifying model for implementing protection. | CSC 322 Operating Systems Concepts Lecture - 19: by Ahmed Mumtaz Mustehsan Special Thanks To: Tanenbaum, Modern Operating Systems 3 e, (c) 2008 Prentice-Hall, Inc.

Lifetime can be seconds to years Must have some way of finding it! Multiple processes must be able to access the information concurrently.
