- Title
A PASSWORD TO COMPUTER SECURITY.
- Authors
GOLDFARB, MICHAEL G.
- Abstract
The article mentions how computers work as integrated networks, the vulnerability of computer systems to unauthorized access, and methods to improve computer security. The discussion focuses on balancing a security level in the company's overall internal control structure with the levels of user-friendliness and potential risk that a company is willing to accept. The threats to security, encryption, message authentication, remote access protection, a smart card which generates a one-time password for the computer user, biometric devices that authenticate the user via retinal, fingerprint, or keystroke-timing analysis, and a strategy for implementing computer systems that reduces the potential for fraud and system failures are mentioned.
