Abstract

The Workshop on NSFNET/NREN Security was hosted by NIST and sponsored by NSF to address the need for improving the security of national computer networks. Emphasis was on identifying off-the-shelf security technology that could be implemented in the NSF Network, especially to control access to the super computer on the network. The report sections reflect the workshop sessions that related security aspects of distributed networks: authentication, access control, applications security and security management. A final section details workshop recommendations.
