It is widely agreed among computer science experts §that spyware poses a dangerous threat to computer §users'' privacy. It is also widely agreed among these §experts that mandatory access control (MAC) is a §valuable security model that provides valuable §security, namely in the fields of data §confidentiality and data integrity (data §authorization). Finally, it is a fact that the §Microsoft Windows operating system (OS) from §Microsoft Corporation is the world''s most used OS. §But how can this valuable security model (MAC) be §used to address data confidentiality problems in the §world''s most used OS (Microsoft Windows)? The author §Filipe Governa performs a market review, showing an §overview of past work by briefly analyzing existing §MAC implementations, with a deeper analysis of and §strong focus on the most relevant one for this work -§Microsoft Windows Integrity Mechanism (WIM) in §Microsoft Windows Vista -, and answers this question §by developing and describing a concept for fighting §tracking software types of spyware with MAC in §Microsoft Windows Vista using WIM.
