Key Concepts

Authentication

Authentication is the process by which an operating system verifies a user's identity to ensure that only approved individuals gain access. This typically involves checking credentials such as a username and password, biometric data, or security tokens, and is crucial for protecting system resources and maintaining security in a multi-user environment.

Process Management

Process management refers to the methods and mechanisms that an operating system uses to control running programs. This includes maintaining a process table, scheduling CPU time, and providing commands or tools for users to view and manage active processes, which helps in monitoring and debugging system performance.

File Permissions

File permissions are the rules set by an operating system that determine who can read, write, or execute files. By configuring these permissions, a user can control the accessibility of their files, ensuring that only authorized users have access, which is a key aspect of maintaining data privacy and system security.
