Study of Methods for the Enhancement of Classified Document Control and Protection.

摘要

For many years, the protection of classified documents has been a concern of administrative and management personnel. Recent thefts of documents has increased this concern and has led to high level committee investigations into improved classified document protection techniques. Better methods must be found to improve classified document control and protection systems. From preliminary investigations, it was determined that there is not one technique or method that alone would provide adequate protection of classified documents. Thus, it was decided to break the problem into smaller parts and to propose a systematic approach that would utilize several components to increase the protection of classified documents. These components would limit the unauthorized access to classified documents, increase the protection of documents during transfers between accountability stations, protect documents against unauthorized reproduction, protect classified documents against the unauthorized removal from a secured area, and verify that documents that have been flagged for destruction are actually physically destroyed. This study investigates techniques that could be implemented in each of these five areas and then how these techniques can be combined to develop a classified document protection system. 12 refs., 5 tabs.
