Report of Defense Science Board Task Force on Computer Security (1967)
- taubek 5y agoI've never thought that cybersecurity was a topic 55 years ago.
- mikewarot 5y agoIt was about this time in history when the need to combine information from multiple security levels couldn't be done by computer due to restrictions in the way the operating systems worked, so coordination of Air Strike missions in the Viet Nam war had to be done by hand. This is the beginning of the research that resulted in Multilevel Secure Operating Systems, the Rainbow Books, and Capability Based Security. They knew how to make secure operating systems in the 1970s. Much like the abandoned Apollo program, this research didn't see much actual use.
