Relate the principle of least privilege to the concepts of user mode, kernel mode and privileged instructions.
What will be an ideal response?
The principle of least privilege states that programs should only have the level of privilege they need to carry out their functions, and no more. This prevents accidental or malicious corruption of the system. One of the simplest implementations of the principle of least privilege is the user mode/kernel mode dichotomy. Users execute in the user mode; the operating system executes in the kernel mode. Privileged instructions are executable only from the kernel mode, so the user, for example, cannot perform arbitrary I/O or access unprotected memory.
