Chromium Google OS security care plan

Two weeks ago, Google announced plans for Chrome open-source operating system designed for those who are most time on the web. Google Chrome the operating system is a "natural progression" and the Chrome browser, Sundar Pichai, Vice President of Product Management of Linus Upson, engineering director, said a blog post with a browser running on top of the Linux Foundation.

As the Chrome browser, Chrome is built on the ground for the system development is focused on three key areas: speed, stability and security. "We do not go back to the base, and completely redesigning the underlying security architecture of the system, so users do not have to deal with viruses, malware, and security," said the post.

Google representatives declined to specify plans for the operating system, but it is likely to lead to exactly what they have done on the browser, especially given the fact that the attacks on the browser now number on the basis of the proposed system. Number of new browser vulnerabilities quickly increased each year since 2003, and the number of Web browser plug-ins are found in more than quadrupled, according to the National Vulnerability Database.



Google Chrome from the day 1 had its own leader who has Windows, showing the use of CPU and memory consumption. I said that is what is an operating system. This is a translation very clean, "says Billy Hoffman, director of Web Security Research Group HP Software and Solutions.

Chrome OS whose source code is due to be released publicly later this year as Google attempts list scheduling period open-source allies, will probably change the operating landscape like Chrome browser was, was the rival to try to match or beat its functionality.

Innovation (exit) the browser wars is to bring more and better security, "said Hoffman. The Chrome browser itself is much harder, and hope they move into more user protection as IE 8 and Firefox. "

Chrome has many features that optimizations Security: sand box, limiting the privileges of the key parts of the browser, so it's harder to coopt them to mount an attack and multi-process architecture that maintains Web sites and applications in separate areas in the browser's memory and isolated them from the rest of the computer.

In general, security experts say that shows the Google Chrome takes security seriously, and their employees are willing to try new methods to achieve.

"Google has made a number of innovations in terms of security of Chrome," said Matt Wood, a senior researcher in the Division of Hewlett-Packard Hoffman.
