Security and privacy: promising advances
Charles P. Pfleeger, Deborah Cooper · IEEE Software · 1997
The paper discusses some promising advances in computer security. Security system designers and implementers must consider several factors: security policy, privileges, authentication, correctness and auditing. The paper presents an overview of some sub-fields and their successes: trusted systems, operating systems, database management systems, distributed systems, cryptography, protocols, system correctness, intrusion detection and mobile code.
