Security in Automatic Data Processing (ADP) Network Systems.

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA037210 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This paper addresses the security issues in Automatic Data Processing ADP elements of computer networks in both the network communication processors and the ADP hosts. The fundamental limitations of the internal security controls of conventional ADP systems are discussed. Advanced security kernel technology presently under development is presented as a viable near term solution. A precise mathematical model of security controls is applied to identify basic design options in several alternative secure network designs. Author
