Security Engineering: A Guide to Building Dependable Distributed Systems

چکیده
In Germany and Turkey they viewed scenes that were particularly distressing. On the runway stood a German (or Turkish) quick-reaction alert airplane loaded with nuclear weapons and with a foreign pilot in the cockpit. The airplane was ready to take off at the earliest warning, and the nuclear weapons were fully operational. The only evidence of U.S. control was a lonely 18-year-old sentry armed with a carbine and standing on the tarmac. When the sentry at the German airfield was asked how he intended to maintain control of the nuclear weapons should the pilot suddenly decide to scramble (either through personal caprice or through an order from the German command circumventing U.S. command), the sentry replied that he would shoot the pilot; Agnew directed him to shoot the bomb.

System dependability is increasing in importance in the market place. A recent report predicts that the market for fault-tolerant systems will double in the next three years. Within the context of large open distributed systems, dependability will be particularly important: the more components a system has the greater the probability that one of those components will be faulty. Over the next tw...

Computers are not (yet?) capable of being reasonable any more than is a Second Lieutenant. Against stupidity, the Gods themselves contend in vain.
