The VMS scheme discussed in the preceding problem is often referred to as a ring protection structure, as illustrated in Figure. Indeed, the simple kernel/user scheme, as described in Section 3.3, is a two-ring structure. A potential disadvantage of this protection structure is that it cannot readily be used to enforce a €œneed-to-know€
