    Oral history interview with Carl E. Landwehr
    (Charles Babbage Institute, 2014-04-21) Landwehr, Carl E.
    Computer security pioneer Carl Landwehr discusses his educational training (Ph.D. University of Michigan), his research as computer scientist/supervisory computer scientist at the Naval Research Laboratory in the second half of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, and subsequent work as a research program officer for computer security at the National Science Foundation (over two separate tenures) and IARPA (where he served as a Division Chief). Among the topics discussed are the Secure Military Message System Project, survey work analyzing early security models, his work on application-based security models, and the role of federal research programs in advancing the field of computer security.

    Oral history interview with John D. McLean
    (Charles Babbage Institute, 2014-04-22) McLean, John D.
    In this oral history, computer security pioneer John McLean begins by discussing his graduate education in logic as well as computer science (working with Dave Parnas). The interview focuses on McLean’s long tenure at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL)—serving as a scientist, supervisory scientist, and later, as a senior administrator (Superintendent of the Information Technology Division of NRL). Among other topics, McLean discusses his collaboration with Carl Landwehr and Constance Heitmeyer on a security model for the Military Message Systems, his (System Z) counterexample that challenged a premise of the Bell-LaPadula security model, the origins of the Foundations Workshop, and managerial roles at NRL.
