The survey article by Denning and Denning [DEN77] gives a good background on access control in operating systems, and the paper by Linden [LIN76] describes operating systems components that affect protection. Lampson [LAM71], Graham and Denning [GRA72], Popek [POP74a], and Saltzer and Schroeder [SAL74, SAL75] are good treatments of protection in operating systems.

Capability-based protection is described in Fabry [FAB74] and Wulf [WUL74]. Lampson and Sturgis [LAM76] and Karger and Herbert [KAR84] discuss the subject in general. Password authentication is discussed in [SEE89] and [KNI98].

Several other papers on different aspects of operating system design are noted in the bibliographic notes for Chapter 5.
