Abstract
The Open System Interconnection standard (ref1) describes a model for communication among application processes at different computer installations (formalised as “open systems”). Possible ancilliary services provide security such as: user authentication , data privacy, data authentication, access control, protection against forgery and repudiation. Work is going on at present in standards committees to produce a security appendix to the OSI model. OSI security services and protocols should then follow.
