'''''Security and privacy in computer systems''''' is a 1967 paper by [[Willis Ware]].<ref name="slate-2020-12-18">{{cite web|date=2020-12-18|access-date=2020-12-18|url=https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/12/solarwinds-russian-hack-cybersecurity.html|work=Slate|first=Fred|last=Kaplan|title=A Hack Foretold|quote=In April 1967, just before the ARPANET’s rollout, an engineer named Willis Ware wrote a paper called 'Security and Privacy in Computer Systems' ... warning that once users could access data from multiple locations, people with certain skills could hack into a network—and after hacking into one part of the network, they could roam at will. [[Stephen Lukasik]], [[ARPANET]]'s supervisor, took Ware's paper to his team and asked what they thought. The team was annoyed. They begged Lukasik not to saddle them with a security requirement. ... Let's do this step by step, the team said. It had been hard enough to get the system to ''work''; the Russians wouldn't be able to match it for decades.}}</ref>

With good reason, much of the information on how to make military systems secure remains classified. Such expertise was first brought to civilians during the 1967 Spring Joint Computer Conference.}}</ref>
 
The [[IEEE Annals of the History of Computing]] said that Ware's 1967 [[Spring Joint Computer Conference]] session, together with 1970's [[Ware report]], marked the start of the field of computer security.<ref name="acm-MAHC.2016.48">{{cite journal|url=https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1109/MAHC.2016.48 |quote=The 1967 Spring Joint Computer Conference session organized by Willis Ware and the 1970 Ware Report are widely held by computer security practitioners and historians to have defined the field's origin. |first=Thomas J. |last=Misa| title=Computer Security Discourse at RAND, SDC, and NSA (1958-1970)|issn=1058-6180|volume=38|number=4|date=October-December 2016|journal=IEEE Annals of the History of Computing|publisher=IEEE Computer Society}}</ref><ref name="yost">{{cite journal|quote= The 1970 (Willis H.)
