Security and Privacy in Computer Systems

Security and privacy in computer systems is a 1967 paper by Willis Ware.^[1]

The IEEE Annals of the History of Computing said that Ware's 1967 Spring Joint Computer Conference session, together with 1970's Ware report, marked the start of the field of computer security.^[2]^[3]
