Abstract

Decision-making is the most important phenomenon of selectivity in the given set of factors. Operating System (OS) security is profoundly reliant upon different factors, affecting the security of OS. The OS securities in various devices are the fundamental goal of present evaluation. The identification and estimation of OS security factors are necessary and challenging in the design of OS. Security appraisal is an essential piece of chance administration rehearsal that gives a scientific instrument to coordinate and control security factors for the assessment in design stage. The goal of this examination study is to create a secure OS with controlled intricacy. The planning of a secure OS and the consequence of security factors are taken. The assessment of OS security is utilizing the Fuzzy Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation (F-Promethee II) method investigating OS security design. Fuzzy set speculations are the most suitable for the devices to give results for demonstrating subjective data. The F-Promethee II technique is used for the assessment. This technique evaluates the impact of OS security factors. Hence, the security assessment of OS is in the hierarchical data security. Initially, five prior factors at the level are distinguished. These elements are arranged in two level confidentiality, integrity, availability, human trust, and authentication at level one. At level two Denial of service attack, network intrusion, buffer overflow, authentication measure, and vulnerability. Authentication got the top rank and authorization least in the security estimation of OS.
