Book Description
"Operating systems provide the fundamental mechanisms for securing computer processing. Since the 1960s, operating systems designers have explored how to build"secure" operating systems - operating systems whose mechanisms protect the system against a motivated adversary. Recently, the importance of ensuring such security has become a mainstream issue for all operating systems. In this book, we examine past research that outlines the requirements for a secure operating system and research that implements example systems that aim for such requirements. For system designs that aimed to satisfy these requirements,we see that the complexity of software systems often results in implementation challenges that we are still exploring to this day. However, if a system design does not aim for achieving the secure operating system requirements, then its security features fail to protect the system in a myriad of ways. We also study systems that have been retro-fit with secure operating system features after an initial deployment. In all cases, the conflict between function on one hand and security on the other leads to difficult choices and the potential for unwise compromises. From this book, we hope that systems designers and implementers will learn the requirements for operating systems that effectively enforce security and will better understand how to manage the balance between function and security."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description
The Fourth International Workshop on Security (IWSEC 2009) was held at Toyama International Conference Center, Toyama, Japan, October 28–30, 2009. The workshop was co-organized by CSEC, a special interest group on computer security of the IPSJ (Information Processing Society of Japan) and ISEC, a technical group on information security of IEICE (The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers). The excellent Local Organizing Committee was led by the IWSEC 2009 General Co-chairs, Kazuo Takaragi and Hiroaki Kikuchi. IWSEC2009received46papersubmissionsfromallovertheworld.Wewould like to thank all the authors who submitted papers. Eachpaper was reviewedby at least three reviewers. In addition to the Program Committee members, many externalreviewersjoinedthereviewprocessintheirparticularareasofexpertise. We were fortunate to have this energetic team of experts, and are grateful to all of them for their hard work. The hard work includes very active discussion; the discussion phase was almost as long as the initial individual reviewing. The review and discussion were supported by a very nice Web-based system, iChair. We thank its developers. Following the review phases, 13 papers were accepted for publication in this volume of Advances in Information and Computer Security. Together with the contributed papers, the workshop featured an invited talk and a hash function panel both of which were respectively given and chaired by eminent researcher, Bart Preneel (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven). An abstract of the talk, titled “TheFutureofCryptographicAlgorithms,”isincludedinthisvolume.Wedeeply appreciate his contribution. Many people contributed to the success of IWSEC 2009. We wish to - press our deep appreciation for their contribution to information and computer security.
