1. Summary/Narrative
- Central in privacy protection are the rights of an individual to know what data are maintained on
him, challenge their veracity, limit their use, and be assured that confidentiality is maintained. In
all computer systems that maintain and process valuable information, or provide services to
multiple users concurrently, it is necessary to provide security safeguards against unauthorized
access, use, or modifications of any data file. This difficult problem has not yet been solved in the
general case. Computer systems must also be protected against unauthorized use, disruption of
operations, and physical damage. The growing number of computer applications involving
valuable information or assets plus the growing number of criminal actions directed against
computer applications and systems or perpetrated by using computers underscore the need for
finding effective solutions to the computer security problem. In the future, concerns for privacy
and security must become integral in the planning and design of computer systems and their
applications.
