👉 Authorized computing refers to the set of rules, permissions, and configurations that define how a computer system or network can be used for specific tasks or applications. It involves defining who or what entities (like users, applications, or services) are granted access to resources, what operations they can perform on those resources, and under what conditions. This includes setting up permissions for file access, network connectivity, and system commands, ensuring that only authorized users or processes can execute certain actions. Authorized computing is crucial for maintaining security, privacy, and integrity within a system or network by controlling access and limiting potential vulnerabilities. It is typically managed through access control lists (ACLs), role-based access control (RBAC), and other security frameworks that enforce these rules consistently across the system.
