Abstract

With the growing requirements for protection generated by legislation such as the 1974 Privacy Act, the increasing complexity of computer and data communications applications, and increasing awareness regarding computer vulnerabilities, the discipline of computer security is achieving independent recognition. Current data processing literature is a rich source of information. Articles and papers regarding security, design of software protection, operational practices and auditing number in the thousands. Most of them are very narrow in scope or so general that they are of little use.
