1.1 Computer Security
• Complex Sentences
– Original: If the operating environment is not based oin a secure operating system capable of maintaining a domain for its own execution, and capable of protecting application code from malicious subversion, and capable of protecting the system from subverted code, then high degrees of security are understandably not possible.
– Translation:如果操作环境不是基于一个安全的操作系统——能够 维持自己的执行域，并能保护应用程序代码免受恶意破坏，以及 保护系统免受破坏代码损害，那么高安全程度是显然不可能的。
