Secure Reliable Processing Systems
Abstract
This technical report covers research carried out by the Secure Distributed Processing Systems group at UCLA under ARPA sponsorship during the approximately five year period 1977-1982. The research conducted during that period focussed on two broad areas: computer security and distributed computer systems. The security work primarily made advances in networks, operating systems, and data management. The distributed systems research was oriented toward systems and software structures suitable for computers connected by local area networks. That work both developed the essential principle of network transparency, which largely eliminates machine boundaries from concern to programs and people, and produced an early prototype of a distributed operating system to demonstrate the feasibility of this principle and other architectural approaches.
