Hello, everybody!

A lot of people requested more exact bibliographic references of
Cohen's papers and about scientific papers treating the computer virus
problem. Well, here are some of them. To keep the list short, I listed
only the scientiffic papers (I omitted even the excellent technical
but not scientiffic papers published by Virus Bulletin), and only
those of them I have a copy of handy right now. Sorry that I had no
time to sort the list by author, title, publication, or date of
publication.

Shoch J., Hupp J., "The Worm Programs - Early Experience woth a
Distributed Computation", CACM, vol 25, 3, March 1982, pp. 172-180

Adleman L., "An Abstract Theory of Computer Viruses". Unfortunately, I
have only a xerox copy of this one, and on the copy it is not written
where the paper has been copied from.

Cohen F., "Computer Viruses - Theory and Experiments", Computers &
Security, vol 6. (1987), 1, pp. 22-35

Cohen F. "On the Implications of Computer Viruses and Methods of
Defense", Computers & Security, vol. 7 (1988), 2, pp 167-184

Computers & Security, vol. 8 (1989), 2, pp. 149-160

Cohen F., "Computational Aspects of Computer Viruses", Computers &
Security, vol. 8 (1989), 4, pp. 325-344

Dowling W., "There Are No Safe Virus Tests", The American Mathematical
Monthly, vol. 96, 9, Nov. 1989, pp. 835-836

Dowling W., "Computer Viruses: Diagonalization and Fixed Points",
Notices of the American Mathematical Society, vol. 37 (1990), 7, pp.
858-861

Lai N., Gray T., "Strengthening Discretionary Access Controls to
Inhibit Trojan Horses and Computer Viruses", proc. of USENIX'88, pp.
275-286

Joseph M., Avizienis A., "A Fault Tolerance Approach to Computer
Viruses". Again, I cannot determine the exact source.

Security, vol. 8 (1989), 5, pp. 427-432

Jones S., White C., "The IPM Model of Computer Virus Management",
Computers & Security, vol. 9 (1990), 5, pp. 411-418

Gleissner W., "A Mathematical Theory for the Spread of Computer
Viruses", Computers & Security, vol. 8 (1989), 1, pp. 35-41

Ferbrache D., "Trojan Horse Techniques to Compromise Sensitive or
Classified Data", Virus Bulletin, September 1990, pp. 11-14. An
improved version of the paper can be found in the proceedings of the
First International Virus Bulletin Conference on Computer Viruses,
Jersey, September 1991. There you can find also an excellent paper
form Yisrael Radai about authentification techniques and much more.
