A brief discussion of the general security issues related to the
human-computer interface follows.
The two main security responsibilities of the system are:
- Identifying and authenticating users, programs, and other systems.
- Restricting user, program and other systems' activities to those
whom have been authorized.
Identifying users is discussed below. Authenticating users, programs,
and systems is discussed in Chapter 10.
Restricting user, program, and other systems' activities is discussed
in Chapters 4 and 10.
And given that the human/computer interface has a physical component,
some of the issues of hardware security are discussed.
