Douglas Stebila - Information security for the future

To illustrate the future of information security, imagine me giving you a piece of information, to wit, that the interests of your employers, the nation's security, and world peace would be greatly advanced if you were to, literally, take a long walk off a short pier. Few of you are likely to do that -- even though I have conveyed a piece of information to a set of very complex information-processing systems, that is, you, the reader.
The basic reasons are obvious: I have no authority to make you do anything, the act suggested is something no sane person would do, and there is little if anything I can say that will make you insane. In a nutshell one can recognize the three primary methods by which information systems are protected: authorization, message filtration, and ensuring the integrity of core processes -- or to put it more in terms of today's tools: good passwords, firewalls, and virus detectors.
