Subjects:	Computer security, Application software security measures, Data protection, Data integrity, Data security failures, Access control of personal computers, Data security, Computer passwords
Abstract:	The article discusses computer security concerns for application systems on personal computers (PCs), with information on the growth of end-user computing and PC-based information systems. Topics include the prevention of unauthorized access to computing resources; the preservation of data integrity; security measures to prevent attacks such as denial of service, unauthorized disclosure, data destruction; and the intra-application security mechanism known as the Relay Race Approach to prevent data security breaches with the use of passwords.
