Subject: Security Policy paper on ftp.sterling.com

Mr. Peter Weiss, of the Office Of Management and Budget (OMB, part of
the Executive Branch of the U.S. government) has been kind enough to
make the following paper available:

 _Security Requirements and Evidentiary Issues in the Interchange
 of Electronic Documents: Steps Toward Developing a Security Policy_.

The Introduction begins:

"This report represents continuing work by OMB to develop policies
and practices to encourage the use of Electronic Commerce techniques
to imporve the efficiency of government operations and service to
the citizen."

I have converted it from Word Perfect to a PostScript file.  (The
tables should be landscape, but my print driver is smarter than I
am.)

It has been placed on ftp.sterling.com; look for it to show up in
the /edi directory as weiss01.zip 33167 bytes.  The zip contains
weiss.ps 99263 bytes.  Thanks to Kent Landfield at Sterling Software.

This document is quite interesting, not only for its content, but
also for its footnotes and references.

I hope you fine it useful, provocative, interesting, 

Artch
