Audit and Surveillance of Multi-Level Computing Systems.

Abstract

Audit and surveillance are two techniques for observing the way that users employ a computer resource. Audit addresses an analysis of behavior after the fact, while surveillance is the active monitoring of user behavior for certain characteristics. This paper addresses audit and surveillance techniques as they augment the security controls of computer systems. Special attention is given to computer systems built around a security kernel. Many of the issues are discussed as they pertain to a secure Multics, a system chosen for its inherent ability to support security controls. (Author)
