“…In other applications, content produced in colour rather than monochrome may preclude the use of text colour as a means of indicating the source of information. Part of the answer may be colouring the browser frame, an approach taken by Trusted X [16]. How well this can be squared with the paragraph-level labelling favoured by some government agencies, and implicit in the complex structure of documents such as drug formularies, remains to be seen.…”

In this paper, we describe a thread of research which we have followed off and on at Cambridge for about three years. Our topic is the security of electronic documents, in the broad sense: how can we be sure of the authenticity of things that are published electronically?This started off as a relatively small project, which we thought would take only a few weeks. The goal was to help our medical informatics department publish information such as drug formularies and treatment protocols on the hospital LAN or PC diskettes in an appropriately dependable way. It rapidly became clear that the problem was much larger and more complex; a general solution would not only cope with 'content' -text, audio, video, software, whatever -but also with objects such as public key certificates. If done properly, it would give us a systematic way to deal with security policy on the web.Our goal now is to let people build integrated publishing and e-commerce services using simple, uniform and appropriate mechanisms. Our proposed solution is a single transparent markup language that allows us to support multiple security policies, plus supporting material ranging from a test implementation to an authentication logic.
