There are a number of ways to protect access to important information on
the Internet, that address the concern in
your letter on Nov 5, ref a.
The initial effort has been to develop capability to build and maintain shared
meaning over time by distributing intelligence quickly, broadly and cheaply.
Tom White's letter on Nov 3, 1998 reporting that
Communication Metrics on the Internet is pretty neat,
shows progress on this objective.
Analysis in the record for today offers comments, ideas and research on
protecting sensitive information. The
article
submitted last year on intranets, ref c, d, indicates security options.
Sincerely,
THE WELCH COMPANY
