摘要:This paper considers how the active engagement of researchers in the management of RDCs, and the design and implementation of data access systems in general can be used to improve data security. It also addresses a number of clichés espoused by both academics and NSIs and argues that, while there is some truth in these, a fair assessment of current risk is often eschewed in favour of simple judgments based on past practice. Finally we note that the quest for security based upon a technological perspective and a fundamentally negative view of human behaviour can lead to exactly the outcomes which RDCs designers are trying to avoid.
