Security and Resource Sharing in an Nt Environment 84-10-51 DATA SECURITY MANAGEMENT SECURITY AND RESOURCE SHARING IN AN NT ENVIRONMENT Gilbert Held INSIDE Overview; Share Creation; Setting Permissions; Multiple Identities; Considering Subfolders; Operational Control Because an understanding of the method by which shares are created fa- cilitates an understanding of different levels of data security associated with resource sharing, this article examines in detail the creation of a shared folder on one computer and its access via another computer. In doing so, this article references a series of screen images that illustrate the actual use of the Windows NT operating system to create shares and discusses and describes methods that control access to shared resources, providing different levels of security concerning the ability of network users to access shared resources and, once accessed, their ability to ma- nipulate data. PAYOFF IDEA OVERVIEW The ability to enable remote users to share re- Windows NT provides users with the sources on NT workstations and servers repre- ability to share access to the contents sents one of the major benefits of the use of this of an entire drive or folder over a operating system.

In addition, because sharing is also integrated with the Windows NT file system, it is also possible to assign a variety of permissions to shared resources. However, the ability to do so depends on the file system used to create a volume. If a share resides on a volume created using the original File Allocation Table (FAT) file system that dates to the original IBM PC, shared resource permissions will be restrict- ed to a series of basic permissions. In comparison, shares residing on a volume created through the use of the more modern NT File System (NTFS) can be assigned additional file-by-file permissions due to the en- hanced level of capability of that file system. SHARE CREATION An appreciation for the security of data associated with resource sharing is best facilitated by creating a shared resource. Thus, this section will create a shared folder and examine how access to data in the folder can be controlled. The creation of a shared resource requires one first selects a drive or folder icon. Once that is accomplished, right-click on the previously se- lected icon to display a list of options associated with the drive or folder. Exhibit 1 illustrates the selection of the folder icon labeled PKZIPW lo- cated in the folder PKWARE and the resulting pop-up menu displayed as a result of right-clicking on the selected icon. Consider the selected fold- er to represent a subfolder or, for die-hard DOS fans, a subdirectory. From the pop-up menu displayed as a result of right-clicking on an icon, one can invoke sharing in one of two ways: either selecting the Properties or the Sharing menu entries. Selecting the Properties menu en- try results in the display of a dialog box labeled Properties, prefixed with the name of the previously selected icon. That dialog box contains two tabs, as illustrated in Exhibit 2. The first tab is labeled General. The con- tents of this tab are displayed in the foreground and provide information about the selected icon, such as its location, storage size, contents, cre- ation date, and any assigned attributes. The second tab, labeled Sharing, which is located in the background of the display, provides the ability to share the resource as well as control access to it. If one selects Properties from the pop-up menu shown in Exhibit 1, one would then have to select the Sharing tab shown in Exhibit 2. In comparison, if one selects the Sharing entry in the previously shown pop-up menu, the Sharing tab would be directly displayed. Thus, the se- lection of the Sharing entry from the pop-up menu can be considered as a small shortcut for accessing the sharing facility for a Properties dialog box for a selected drive or folder icon. Because one wants to create a share, one would either click on the tab labeled Sharing in Exhibit 2 or select Sharing from the pop-up menu en- © 1999 CRC Press LLC 10/99 that enablesasharetobecreated.

Either action will result in the display of the Shar- ing tab for the Properties menu of the selected icon. Exhibit 3 illustrates the display of the Sharing tab for the previously se- lected PKZIPW folder. Several entries in the tab display were either placed by default by the operating system into an appropriate box or en- tered by the author of this article and will now be described as one takes a tour of the entries. When initially selecting a nonshared drive or folder, the button labeled Not Shared will be shown selected. When one clicks on the button la- beled Shared As, the name of the folder by default will be placed in the box associated with the label Shared Name. One can enter a share name up to 80 characters in length; however, one should probably consider a © 1999 CRC Press LLC 10/99 EXHIBIT 3 — The Sharing tab in the Properties dialog box for a selected icon provides the ability to control resource sharing. much shorter name length, especially if the organization has Windows 95-based computers that will access the share. This is because a Win- dows 95 system cannot see a share name more than 12 characters in length. In addition, DOS and Windows for Workgroup users are restrict- ed to the 8.3 DOS file naming convention; so, when in doubt as to who will access a share, it is best to use the lowest common denominator of naming restrictions. The actual composition of a share name can include all letters and numbers and the special characters $ % ‘ - _ @ ~ ! ( ) ^ # and &. If using long filenames, one can also include the six additional special characters + , : = [ and ]. One additional item that is worthy of mention concerns the use of the dollar sign ($) as a suffix to a share name. Doing so hides the share from direct viewing by other network users when browsing Net- © 1999 CRC Press LLC 10/99 work Neighborhood and provides a bit of privacy. However, if improper permissions are assigned to the share, other users who know its Univer- sal Naming Convention (UNC) address can access the data in the share. Note the down arrow to the right of the box for the Share Name. As noted shortly, the operating system provides the ability to share a re- source under multiple names, allowing one to tailor access and permis- sions to each share name. Another word of caution is in order concerning share names: once a share is named, the only way to rename it is to disable it and then re-enable it using a new name. Continuing the tour of the Sharing tab, the box labeled Comment pro- vides the ability to add a comment concerning the share. The User Limit area provides the ability to control the number of users that can access the share at one time. While this option does not restrict access based on any permissions, it is valuable to consider from both a license and per- formance perspective. That is, its use enables one to remain in compli- ance with certain software product licenses that restrict the number of users that can use the product at any one time. In addition, this feature allows one to consider the movement of data across a network and indi- rectly control both data flow on the network and its effect on network performance. For example, a shared application that enables clients to back-up the contents of their drives to a disk array on a server could bring the network to a halt if a large number of employees decided to initiate the application at the same time. SETTING PERMISSIONS Returning to the Sharing tab displayed in Exhibit 3, note the button la- beled Permissions. This button provides the ability to control access to the share both via users that have accounts on the computer, as well as by setting permissions that control access to the data in the share. Exhibit 4 illustrates the result of clicking on the button labeled Permis- sions. This action results in the display of a dialog box labeled Access Through Share Permissions.

  • Shared Resource Matrix Methodology: an Approach to Identifying Storage and Timing Channels
    Shared Resource Matrix Methodology: An Approach to Identifying Storage and Timing Channels RICHARD A. KEMMERER University of California, Santa Barbara Recognizing and dealing with storage and timing channels when performing the security analysis of a computer system is an elusive task. Methods for discovering and dealing with these channels have mostly been informal, and formal methods have been restricted to a particular specification language. A methodology for discovering storage and timing channels that can be used through all phases of the software life cycle to increase confidence that all channels have been identified is presented. The methodology is presented and applied to an example system having three different descriptions: English, formal specification, and high-order language implementation. Categories and Subject Descriptors: C.2.0 [Computer-Communication Networks]: General--se- curity and protection; D.4.6 ]Operating Systems]: Security and Protection--information flow controls General Terms: Security Additional Key Words and Phrases: Protection, confinement, flow analysis, covert channels, storage channels, timing channels, validation 1. INTRODUCTION When performing a security analysis of a system, both overt and covert channels of the system must be considered. Overt channels use the system's protected data objects to transfer information. That is, one subject writes into a data object and another subject reads from the object. Subjects in this context are not only active users, but are also processes and procedures acting on behalf of the user. The channels, such as buffers, files, and I/O devices, are overt because the entity used to hold the information is a data object; that is, it is an object that is normally viewed as a data container.

  • Shared Resource
    Shared resource In computing, a shared resource, or network share, is a computer resource made available from one host to other hosts on a computer network.[1][2] It is a device or piece of information on a computer that can be remotely accessed from another computer transparently as if it were a resource in the local machine. Network sharing is made possible by inter-process communication over the network.[2][3] Some examples of shareable resources are computer programs, data, storage devices, and printers. E.g. shared file access (also known as disk sharing and folder sharing), shared printer access, shared scanner access, etc. The shared resource is called a shared disk, shared folder or shared document The term file sharing traditionally means shared file access, especially in the context of operating systems and LAN and Intranet services, for example in Microsoft Windows documentation.[4] Though, as BitTorrent and similar applications became available in the early 2000s, the term file sharing increasingly has become associated with peer-to-peer file sharing over the Internet. Contents Common file systems and protocols Naming convention and mapping Security issues Workgroup topology or centralized server Comparison to file transfer Comparison to file synchronization See also References Common file systems and protocols Shared file and printer access require an operating system on the client that supports access to resources on a server, an operating system on the server that supports access to its resources from a client, and an application layer (in the four or five layer TCP/IP reference model) file sharing protocol and transport layer protocol to provide that shared access.

Resource Management in Multimedia Networked Systems Abstract Error-free multimedia data processing and communication includes providing guaranteed services such as the colloquial telephone. A set of problems have to be solved and handled in the control-management level of the host and underlying network architectures. We discuss in this paper 'resource management' at the host and network level, and their cooperation to achieve global guaranteed transmission and presentation services, which means end-to-end guarantees. The emphasize is on 'network resources' (e.g., bandwidth, buffer space) and 'host resources' (e.g., CPU processing time) which need to be controlled in order to satisfy the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements set by the users of the multimedia networked system. The control of the specified esourr ces involves three actions: (1) properly allocate resources (end-to-end) during the multimedia call establishment, so that traffic can flow according to the QoS specification; (2) control resource allocation during the multimedia transmission; (3) adapt to changes when degradation of system components occurs.

  • Casual Resource Sharing with Shared Virtual Folders
    MASTER THESIS IN COMPUTER SCIENCE Casual Resource Sharing with Shared Virtual Folders Siri Birgitte Uldal June 15th, 2007 FACULTY OF SCIENCE Department of Computer Science University of Tromsø, N-9037 Tromsø Casual Resource Sharing with Shared Virtual Folders Siri Birgitte Uldal June 15th, 2007 ___________________ University of Tromsø 2007 Abstract Proliferation of wireless networks has been a major trigger behind increased mobility of computing devices. Along with increased mobility come requests for ad-hoc exchange of resources between computing devices as an extension of humans interacting. We termed it casual resource sharing where resources in this thesis have been narrowed down to files only. We have named our casual resource sharing model for shared virtual folders (SVF). SVFs can be looked upon as a common repository much in the same way as the tuplespace model. The SVF members perceive the repository similarly to a common file directory on a server, while in reality all participating devices stores their own contribution of files. All types of files could be added to the repository and shared. To become a SVF member one needs to be invited by another member or initiate a SVF oneself. All members are free to withdraw their SVF membership whenever they wish. They are also free to log on to the SVF and log out as they please. The SVF cease to exist when the last member has drawn his membership. The SVF implements a simple versioning detection system to alert members when a file has been modified by another member. Feasibility of the model is demonstrated in a prototype implementation based on Java and the JXTA middleware, a peer-to-peer (P2P) infrastructure middleware supporting the Internet protocol.
