The purpose is to give an overview of basic concepts and terminology of the AppleTalk network system that the administrator needs to know to proceed with the installation and maintenance of the AppleTalk for VMS component of the PATHWORKS for Macintosh software. This manual contains references to products not directly supported in PATHWORKS for Macintosh. For a complete list of the supported network configurations, see the Software Product Description (SPD 31-53.xx) for PATHWORKS for Macintosh. Intended Reader This manual addresses the VMS system administrator and DECnet administrator who are familiar with DECnet software and the VMS operating system, but not necessarily familiar with AppleTalk. The programmer is a possible secondary audience; the primary source of overview information for programmers is the PATHWORKS for Macintosh Programmer's Guide. ix Manual Organization This manual is organized as follows: Chapter 1 provides an overview of Macintosh to VAX connectivity, followed by an introduction to basic AppleTalk network concepts. 2 Chapter 2 discusses the physical components of the AppleTalk network system-cabling and computers. 3 Chapter 3 describes how users in the combined Apple and Digital environment share files and printers, access DECnet services, exchange electronic mail, and use X Windows applications. 4 Chapter 4 provides an overview of AppleTalk protocols. For More Information The PATHWORKS for Macintosh documentation set consists of the following manuals. The set is visually represented by the illustration at the end of this section.

  • Shared Resource Matrix Methodology: an Approach to Identifying Storage and Timing Channels
    Shared Resource Matrix Methodology: An Approach to Identifying Storage and Timing Channels RICHARD A. KEMMERER University of California, Santa Barbara Recognizing and dealing with storage and timing channels when performing the security analysis of a computer system is an elusive task. Methods for discovering and dealing with these channels have mostly been informal, and formal methods have been restricted to a particular specification language. A methodology for discovering storage and timing channels that can be used through all phases of the software life cycle to increase confidence that all channels have been identified is presented. The methodology is presented and applied to an example system having three different descriptions: English, formal specification, and high-order language implementation. Categories and Subject Descriptors: C.2.0 [Computer-Communication Networks]: General--se- curity and protection; D.4.6 ]Operating Systems]: Security and Protection--information flow controls General Terms: Security Additional Key Words and Phrases: Protection, confinement, flow analysis, covert channels, storage channels, timing channels, validation 1. INTRODUCTION When performing a security analysis of a system, both overt and covert channels of the system must be considered. Overt channels use the system's protected data objects to transfer information. That is, one subject writes into a data object and another subject reads from the object. Subjects in this context are not only active users, but are also processes and procedures acting on behalf of the user. The channels, such as buffers, files, and I/O devices, are overt because the entity used to hold the information is a data object; that is, it is an object that is normally viewed as a data container.

  • Shared Resource
    Shared resource In computing, a shared resource, or network share, is a computer resource made available from one host to other hosts on a computer network.[1][2] It is a device or piece of information on a computer that can be remotely accessed from another computer transparently as if it were a resource in the local machine. Network sharing is made possible by inter-process communication over the network.[2][3] Some examples of shareable resources are computer programs, data, storage devices, and printers. E.g. shared file access (also known as disk sharing and folder sharing), shared printer access, shared scanner access, etc. The shared resource is called a shared disk, shared folder or shared document The term file sharing traditionally means shared file access, especially in the context of operating systems and LAN and Intranet services, for example in Microsoft Windows documentation.[4] Though, as BitTorrent and similar applications became available in the early 2000s, the term file sharing increasingly has become associated with peer-to-peer file sharing over the Internet. Contents Common file systems and protocols Naming convention and mapping Security issues Workgroup topology or centralized server Comparison to file transfer Comparison to file synchronization See also References Common file systems and protocols Shared file and printer access require an operating system on the client that supports access to resources on a server, an operating system on the server that supports access to its resources from a client, and an application layer (in the four or five layer TCP/IP reference model) file sharing protocol and transport layer protocol to provide that shared access.

    N92-12499 Networking Standards Mark Davies, Digital Equipment Corporation ABSTRACT The enterprise network is currently a multivendor environment consisting of many defacto and proprietary standards. During the 1990s, these networks will evolve towards networks which are based on international standards in both the LAN and WAN space. Also, you can expect to see the higher level functions and applications begin the same transition. The Open Network Advantage Market Requirements OPEN NETWORKS!!! Multi-protocol, multi-platform, multi-vendor networks working together International AND defacto standards Effortless communications within and between enter- prises Ability to move to standards at own pace What is an Open System? Defined as: A vendor-neutral computing environment: - compliant with International and defacto standards - permits system and network interoperability or software applications portability - includes consistency of data and human access - satisfies one or more of a business's functional requirements Standards Benefits from networks based on international and defacto standards o Vendor independence o Applications portability o Investment protection o Improved communications leading to increased productivity o Network flexibility 13DSDDED Network Architectures: DECnet, OSI, TCP/IP DECnet OS) IP Application Application Internet Applications Protocols Presentation DMA Session Control Session Transport Transport Transport (NSP) (TP 0,2,4) (TCP / UDP) Network Network Network (CLNS) (CLNS/CONS) (IP) Data Link Data Link Data Link
