NODE 98bd0a7cPaper 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.
