Chapter 15. Securing Windows Objects
Windows supports a comprehensive security model that prevents unauthorized access to objects such as files, processes, and file mappings. Nearly all shareable objects can be protected, and the programmer has a fine granularity of control over access rights.Program 15-1, shows how to emulate UNIX file permissions with NTFS files, and a second example applies security to named pipes. The same principles can then be used to secure other objects. The references list several resources you can consult for additional security information.Only Windows NT systems can use these security features; they do not apply to the Windows 9x family.
