What is “computer security”? Broadly speaking, security is keeping anyone from doing things
you do not want them to do to, with, on, or from your computers or any peripheral devices. This definition is, of course, much too broad. Nevertheless, it does lead us to some very important questions that must be answered by anyone who wishes to deploy an effective security mechanism. The first such question is “What resources are we trying to protect?” The answers are not always obvious. Is it the CPU cycles? At one time, that made a great deal of sense; computer time was very expensive. That is no longer true in most situations, supercomputers being a
notable exception. More seriously, a CPU—or rather, a CPU running certain software with certain configuration files—has a name, an identity, that lets it access other, more critical resources. These are often more sensitive than CPU time. A hacker who compromises or impersonates a host will usually have access to all of its resources: files, storage devices, phone lines, etc. From a practical perspective, some hackers are most interested in abusing the identity of the host, not so much to reach its dedicated resources, but to launder further outgoing connections to other, possibly more interesting, targets. Others might actually be interested in the data on your machine, whether it is sensitive company material or government secrets.

Individuals and organizations often have a legitimate need to verify the identity or
OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) represents the totality of protocol definitions and associated additional texts which provide international standardization of many aspects of computer-to-computer communication. In theory it extends from the lowest level of signalling techniques to high-level interactions in support of specific applications. 
The simplicity, effectiveness and elegance of Smalltalk comes from it's simple yet highly expressive syntax and the design of it's various libraries of 'objects'. Smalltalk was the first, and remains one of the few, pure object systems, which simply means that everything in a Smalltalk program is an object. Smalltalk is generally recognized as the second Object Programming Language (OPL) (after Simula and "object" influences from Sketchpad, the B5000 and the 220 File System, see
