Nik Okuntseff explains NT security from the ground up and provides a friendlier interface to Windows NT security than the more than 75 functions now found in the NT API. With some nicely designed C++ classes, you will be able to extract security information from objects easily and protect objects with a minimum of code. This is a code-oriented book written for those with a basic knowledge of the Windows NT operating system who also know what processes and thread are, what the Registry is, and what a Windows NT service is. Many code examples throughout the book, especially the class library, assume the use of Microsoft Foundation Classes. This book is primarily about access control in Window NT. Okuntseff encourages the use of directed versus default security measures and addresses the following Why should I use security? What happens if I do not use it? If I decide to use security, how would I design an application? How do I decide what to protect with security and how strict the security should be? How does security work? What are 'access tokens', 'security descriptors', and other security-related structures? What can be secured and how? What are access rights and privileges? How do I deny or allow access to a certain user? What is auditing? What is impersonation? How is security different depending on the environment (FAT versus NTFS)? How is security integrated into Windows NT services?
