> In the late 60s ARPA and then DSB sponsored a committee to write a doc on
> security controls.  The report became very famous and often referred to as
> "the Ware Report".  Courtesy of John Young, who operates the very efficient
> and respected archive CRYPTOME, the document is now available in HTML and
> ZIP formed.  Have a look to see how thoroughly the committee understood
> the issue in those days; especially have a look at Appendix II.

> I suspect that this document might give some of the latter-day youngsters
> pause for believing that they invented computer security.
>
> SEE also the preface which explains why the original documents was
> classified; many people have commented on this.
