My favorite set of computer security seminal papers.
They are papers from 1970-1988 period every serious professional or student of computer security should read. Some of them are not easy to find because they weren’t published so, the goal of this collection is to make them widely available. I’ve read almost all of them during my first years studying and working in computer security. I want to thank the Computer Security Laboratory of the Computer Science Department at the University of California, Davis, and the Information Technology Laboratory of the National Institute os Standards and Technology (NIST) for keep copies of many of them.
Background and Organisation
Computer security has been studied since the early 1970s. Science behind security had influenced the development of pioneer systems such as MULTICS and ATLAS. Unfortunately, many of the early seminal papers are often overlooked.
This collection is created as a historical record of how computer security initiated and developed, and the reasons behind that. It conforms a valuable resource for computer security education. It provides a resource for security practitioners, for they to be aware of what has been thought and tried before, under what conditions, and with what results.
