Integrity Considerations for Secure Computer Systems

Abstract

An integrity policy defines formal access constraints which, if effectively enforced, protect data from improper modification. The author identifies the integrity problems posed by a secure military computer utility. Integrity policies addressing these problems are developed and their effectiveness evaluated. A prototype secure computer utility, Multics, is then used as a testbed for the application of the developed access controls.
