:NSA paper on computer security
NSA paper on computer security
Dec 14, 1998, 00 :06 UTC (1 Talkback[s]) (3266 reads)

Kragen posted to BUGTRAQ:

"The Inevitability of Failure: The Flawed Assumption of Security in Modern Computing Environments", published by six NSA employees, was published at the 21st National Information Systems Security Conference in October, in Arlington, Virginia, USA. (See http://csrc.nist.gov/nissc/1998/ and http://csrc.nist.gov/nissc/1998/papers.html for more on the conference.)

The paper is available in HTML at http://www.jya.com/paperF1.htm and in PDF at http://csrc.nist.gov/nissc/1998/proceedings/paperF1.pdf

It discusses, among other things:

  • why mandatory security mechanisms are useful outside the context of classification levels, even on single-user systems;
  • trusted-path mechanisms, like the PASSCRED stuff recently implemented in Linux and NT's Ctrl-Alt-Del login feature.
