Yeah, it would be great to not be vulnerable to cyber attacks, but what makes Indian programmers so special? If it's possible to build into an OS the ability to thwart all attacks, don't you think Microsoft, Apple, and Linux would've figured that out by now? As we always mention in class, cyber wars are so dynamic and ever changing, so how can you possibly develop an OS in which a hole can't be found?Tevanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15940087054224681173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4050177321399051504.post-6929985776797727692010-12-13T15:45:12.672-05:002010-12-13T15:45:12.672-05:00Does this mean that the Indian government is just ...Does this mean that the Indian government is just trying to produce an OS for itself or will it try to market it? If it's only for the Indian government it would seem that cyber security is reaching new heights of importance on a national level to have attained funding for the venture. In terms of marketing however, it would seem an advanced stage of snooping on citizens and any foreigners foolish enough to install the OS. <br />The resilience of this OS to outsiders is questionable when malware written in Java can cross the OS divide easily. It wont be long until there is an attack language that would encompass this new OS if it was a target worthy of the research and development time.Kevin Milmoenoreply@blogger.com
