EFTS related file recovery and integrity problems
Jack Dugger · 1979
Because of the vast sums involved in Electronic Funds Transfer, the techniques used to recover messages and files must be exceptionally reliable. There is a movement today in EFTS from special purpose, custom built operating systems to more general purpose operating systems with the intent of obtaining greater versatility (higher level languages, data base methodology, etc.) The drawback is that the general purpose recovery systems are usually insufficient, and their code may no longer be accessible to the programmer.
