Operating System

To be a good programmer is difficult and challenging. Writing computer programs is important and takes great intelligence and skill.

SecurStar DriveCrypt Plus Pack 3.80G (DCPP) provides true real-time "on the fly" 256-bit disk encryption. Providing advanced HDD FDE (Full Disk Encryption) as apposed to VDE - (Virtual disk encryption) or "container" encryption, DCPP is an important evolutionary step in the field of transpa-rent data protection.
DCPP - allows you to secure your HDD disk(s) (including removable media) with a powerful and proven encryption algorithm (AES-256) at the sector level, ensuring that only authorized users may access it. The encryption algorithm used by DCPP is a trusted, validated algorithm chosen by the National Institute of Standards and Techno-logy (NIST) and slated to be the cryptographic standard for years to come. AES-256 is a FIPS-approved symmetric encryption algorithm that may be used by U.S. Government organizations (and others) to protect sensitive information. DCPP is automatic and completely transparent to the user. Not only does this decrease user involvement and training requirements, but it creates the foundation for enforceable security. The careful integration of boot protection and automatic encryption provides a high degree of security with minimal impact on users. Boot protection prevents subversion of the operating system (via floppy bootup, for example) or the introduction of rogue programs while sector by sector encryption makes it impossible to copy individual files for brute force attacks. DCPP - safeguards the operating system and the important system files (which often contain clues to passwords for Windows). DCPP is the fastest and most feature-rich real-time encryption system available, Special care has been taken to render all cryptographic parts as invisible & transparent as possible.

Operating System Design: The Xinu Approach, Linksys Version provides a comprehensive introduction to Operating System Design, using Xinu, a small, elegant operating system that serves as an example and a pattern for system design. The book focuses the discussion of operating systems on the microkernel operating system facilities used in embedded systems.
