Its basic idea is that user explicitly authorizes program the file set it can access, and monitor all file access operations; once program requests to access file out of the authorized file set, refuse it, and this means that the program is malicious or has design errors. Computers based on this novel mechanism can protect information from attacking reliably, and have good software and hardware compatibility. A testing system is presented to validate our theory.展开更多
