TLDR
The authors concentrate on authentication for real-time, interactive services that are offered on computer networks, which includes remote login, file system reads and writes, and information retrieval for applications like Mosaic.Abstract:
When using authentication based on cryptography, an attacker listening to the network gains no information that would enable it to falsely claim another's identity. Kerberos is the most commonly used example of this type of authentication technology. The authors concentrate on authentication for real-time, interactive services that are offered on computer networks. They use the term real-time loosely to mean that a client process is waiting for a response to a query or command so that it can display the results to the user, or otherwise continue performing its intended function. This class of services includes remote login, file system reads and writes, and information retrieval for applications like Mosaic. >read more

Systems and Methods for Secure Transaction Management and Electronic Rights Protection
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a secure content distribution method for a configurable general-purpose electronic commercial transaction/distribution control system, which includes a process for encapsulating digital information in one or more digital containers, a process of encrypting at least a portion of digital information, a protocol for associating at least partially secure control information for managing interactions with encrypted digital information and/or digital container, and a process that delivering one or multiple digital containers to a digital information user.

Internet server access control and monitoring systems
Thomas Mark Levergood,Lawrence C. Stewart,Stephen Jeffrey Morris,Andrew C. Payne,George Winfield Treese +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a system for controlling and monitoring access to network servers that includes client-server sessions over the Internet, where when the user attempts to access an access-controlled file, the server subjects the request to a secondary server which determines whether the client has an authorization or valid account.
