Benefits and threats of new technologies.
In this paper first the effect of new hardware and software technologies on threats to data integrity and usage integrity is considered. Next the potential is considered of new technical facilities for improving the protection. It is concluded that the increasing risks for data and usage integrity are not counter balanced at present by new protection measures. A concerted action is proposed to face this problem. Especially action is proposed to develop methods for quality assurance of software, for access control in networks and to improve data/usage integrity around PC's.
