Latches are the seriliazation mechanisms to protect shared data structures in System Global Area. Example Latches protect the list of users presently accessing the database and protect the data structures that describes the data blocks present in the buffer cache.

The implementation of Latches is Operating System Dependent.
V$LATCH view is used to query the latches.
