Those of you who are interested in attending should call Steve R. White at (914) 789-7368. Nick Simicich Subject: Seminar by Fred Cohen Date : 20 Jul 1988 Time : 2:00 - 3:00 Place : IBM Research, Hawthorne NY, Room H1-E53 Host : Steve R. White (SRWHITE at YKTVMH) Models of Practical Defenses Against Computer Viruses Fred Cohen University of Cincinnati Computer viruses are pieces of programs that attach themselves to other executable programs. When that executable program is run, the virus searches for yet another executable program and infects it with the virus. Besides spreading the infection, a virus can perform malicious actions like erasing files or randomly changing data. In this talk, we describe a way to detect computer viruses and prevent them from spreading before they cause significant damage. We show how this method can be used to protect information in both trusted and untrusted computing bases, show the optimality of this technique, and present the results of experimental trials in two computing environments.

I notified Rich of his mistake as soon as I received his update list, several weeks ago, but he apparently couldn't correct it in time to prevent the error in NetMonth. I have notified Chris Condon of the error. _______________________________________________________________________________ | James M. Shaffer, Jr. | Bitnet: shafferj@bknlvms CIS: 72750,2335 | | P.O.
