Application Domains and Services - 70-536 Study Guide: Key Terms
Application domain – A logical container that allows multiple assemblies to run within a single process, while preventing them from directly accessing another assembly’s memory.
Assembly evidence – Evidence that an assembly presents that describes the assembly’s identity, such as the hash, the publisher, or the strong name.
Defense-in-depth – The security principle of providing multiple levels of protection so that your system is still protected in the event of vulnerability.
Evidence – The way an assembly is identified, such as the location where the assembly is stored, a hash of the assembly’s code, or the assembly’s signature. The information that the runtime gathers about an assembly is then used to determine which code groups the assembly belongs to. The code groups, in turn, determine the assembly’s privileges.
LocalService – A service account that runs with very limited privileges
LocalSystem – A service account that runs with almost unlimited privileges.
NetworkService – A service account that is capable of authenticating to remote computers.
Service – A process that runs in the background, without a user interface, in its own user session.
