Paper on Network Security
We posted news* a few days ago of a white paper by the OURS organization on network security. We have put it at: http://jya.com/recsec.htm (63 kb) OURS is an our-gang of gorilla industries such as Bellcore, Chase, LDS(!), Compaq, DEC, EDS, EXXON, IBM, Intel, MIT, Microsoft, Motorola, Novell, Oracle, Princeton, Security Dynamics (!), Societe Generale, Texaco and Ziff-Davis. Mother of all GAK-enfeebled alliances. The report was prepared by an Information Protection Task Force of OURS members assisted by Amex, ICL, Mergent and TIS. It's a fair overview of what mega-corporations fear of network vipers and what they pray will exorcize the Edenic mayhemics. Sorry, it's a bit too long for E-mail. * That original news report is at: http://jya.com/oursay.txt
