Abstract
Abstract: Due to the increase nature of computer threats and attacks, the security of the operating system isparamount in the computing world today. Every modern computer system, from network servers, workstationdesktops, to laptops and hand-held devices, has a core piece of software, called operating system (OS) executedon the top of a bare machine of hardware that allocates the basic resources of the system and supervises theexecution of all applications within the system. This paper investigates and evaluates the security of GoogleChrome Operating System. Google Chrome Operating system is an operating system developed by google,which runs on specialized hardware. The Chrome OS differ from traditional operating system such as Windowsin that it is designed to work specifically with web pplications. In this operating system, the user data livesessentially on the web. Thus, if the physical machine-laptop is lost or stolen, the user can still access their dataonline. However, the Chromebook also allows users to access downloaded data offline, which must be kept safe.To achieve this, Chrome OS ensures that all downloaded data is protected and that code running on thisChromebook is safe to use. In order to avoid security challenges of traditional operating system such as virusand worms, ChromeBook not only ensures that the code is safe, but also incorporates an autoupdate features toadd new patches to the system.
